after upgrading to tfs 2013(server 2012 r2, sql 2012) from tfs 2010(server 2008 r2, sql 2012) only windows admins can connect to tfs
we upgraded our tfs server to 2013 by the following procedure: 1. backup old tfs 2010 tfs databases 2. copy backup to different sql server and restore backups 3. install tfs on different windows 2012 R2 machine 4. use upgrade wizzard: - we use a service account instead of the default. the service account is windows administrator - we selected ntlm as authentication methode.
at first everything seemed to work, but after a while we found out only user registered as windows administrator are able to log on to tfs. both to visual studio as the website. even when i make a user tfs admin he cannot connect to tfs. user needs to be windows administrator.
software versions:
Tfs 2013 update 4
Sql server 2012 service pack 1(cannot easely upgrade)
Errors:
Visual studio:TF30063: You are not authorized to access %server%
website: 401 unauthorized
Service accounts have required permission(as far as i can see)(there all administrator on server)
