TF30063: You are not authorized to access tfs\projects

Now thats an issue that can bamboozle the Windows Administrator also

Thanks to Ryan Hanisco’s blog,  http://ryanhanisco.com/2011/03/14/tfs-service-authentication-tf30063/, I resolved this issue.

Simple steps performed were: -

• Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
• Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0
• Create new Multi-String Value and name it as BackConnectionHostNames
• In the Value data box, type the CNAME or the DNS alias, that is used for the local shares on the computer, and then click OK.
  Note
  - Type each host name on a separate line.
  - If the BackConnectionHostNames registry entry already exists as a REG_DWORD type then delete and recreate as Multi-String Value.
• Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.

TortoiseSVN messes up the Windows XP context menu

To fix this issue, open the registry editor using ‘regedit’ in the start menu > run command
and then browse to path,

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\TortoiseSVN

Add ‘—’ hypens in beginning of the key as shown in the image above, save and close.

That’s all.
