Common problems while creating a new TFS team project

After you have installed TFS, sharepoint etc, when you try to create a new team project then you may get following mysterious errors. Also, given below the resolution for the same. I have encountered this problem few times earlier and hence jotting it down here so that it may help others.

1. Unable to connect to the Windows sharepoint service
Resolution: Change the port number of Sharepoint admin website to 17012 and restart the IIS.
2. Error uploading report : Work Item with Tasks
Resolution: After trying all the things available on the newsgroups, websites etc., if still your problem is not solved then try using domain user for logon for the Microsoft Windows Share Point Search service. Restart the service and then try creating the project again. The same domain user should have access to the reports database.

Hope it helps.

Cheers,
Amol
