Hey guys. I'm trying to configure TFS2010 on a home server. I want to use TFS in such way:
1)Some contributers are working in a small home office working with the same domain name as a server on which TFS is installed.
2)Other contributers are working remote. And contribute code through the web, accessing the server through router.
I think it is codeplex-like config. But i could not find a solution. Please help.
You can work remote, but you cannot do Version Control from TWA (web access). To be able to do Version Control, you must use Team Explorer and open up your TFS by routing port 8080 to your own home server.

Power BI Web Service URL working, web portal URL isn't
I had to reinstall Power BI Report Server. I reconnected to the underlying Reportserver database. Since I didn't have a backup of the encryption key, I deleted encrypted content. At this point if I go to the web portal (http://reportserver/Reports) I get this error:
"The service is not available. Contact your system administrator to
resolve the issue. System administrators: The report server can’t
connect to its database. Make sure the database is running and
accessible. You can also check the report server trace log for
details."
However when I go to the web service (http://reportserver/ReportServer), I can browse the report server directory. This information is coming from the underlying database so clearly the report server CAN connect to it's database. Both these happen both if I browse from my desktop or from the browser on the server itself. In the case of the server itself, I follow the links in the respective sections of the Admin tool, so links are correct, and Admin tool is indicating that web directory setup is correct.
Service restart does not help, neither does restart of the whole server. I also tried changing the name of the link (ie http://reportserver/PBIReports instead of http://reportserver/Reports) - still not working
OK I found what was going on. The reason for the reinstall was to roll back from a newer version of Power BI server. Rollback was needed because it didn't play nicely with some other processes on the same server.
In any case... as per MS documentation, upgrade of Power BI server can trigger a (silent, background) update to the ReportServer structure. So after reinstalling the old version of Power BI, I was in fact trying to connect the old version of Power BI to a new version of the ReportServer Database.
Hopefully removing existing (upgraded) ReportServer Database and recreating it from the Config tool of the old version of Power BI Server will do the trick.
I'm trying to publish ligthswitch on local network with from VisualStudio 2013,
I have installed IIS and launched web-deployment services. I Think I also installed all the possible features from web platform installer.
When I publish lightswitch app I get to this screen.
and I dont know how to get pass this service Url line. Whenever I type localhost or Computer name which is the server name, perhaps? I get an error
"Lightswitch must be run with administrative privileges to deploy to local host.
I fugured I could also just use import settings file. It could be alternative way.
but how do I create this xml file.
I've answered this for you before. You may have missed a step:
Open IIS
Locate "Default Web Site"
Right click and find Deploy -> Configure Web Deploy Publishing... (This step will create the XML file that you can use for Import Settings...
(If this menu option isn't available it means you haven't got the Management Service installed. And/or you haven't got the ALL of the Web Deploy 3.5 components installed.)
I'm trying to deploy an SSRS report to a remote server (that is not on my network). I'm not sure how to do this. For a machine on my network, I would just change the TargetURL, but I'm guessing there should be somewhere that I can associate credentials to deploy to a remote server, but I'm not finding it.
I know this is an old post but if someone is wondering about the same question.
I am using vs2017 enterprise. So when you configure your remote url and folder name and everything is perfect to build your project, you hit F5 or deploy your project. Upon successful building vs will prompt you for your report servers credential. Then you do the usual and vs will do its own job. In a moment you will be able to access your report.
Just read about the permission requirements before you try it.
Hope it will help someone.
Thanks
I face a similar issue delivering reports to various servers (customers and dev,qa,staging and production.) In visual studio the best way to do it is start a new project for the new server and import the new reports into it. You end up with a new project for each server.
I found TFS / VS unwieldy and my workflow to manage it unfortunately is doing it manually, or using one of a few open source report uploading tools (there are powershell scripts to do it but I find the tools are more user friendly.)
Best thing to start with is doing it manually; which will sort your initial problem.
Save the file out of your report writer to disk.
In Internet Explorer log into the Report Manager of the remote server http(s)://remoteservername/reports and navigate to the folder you want. Then upload the report.
When its uploaded you may need to fix the connection to the database.
Once you get used to doing this you can use a tool like reportsync to easily and quickly move reports between servers.
I needed to run IISExpress under a specific identity. After going through this post how to run iisexpress app pool under a different identity I changed the processModel's username and password attributes in my \Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config file.
I would like to verify the change in my web application. Is there a way to verify?
Ultimately, what I'm after is that my security works properly using the PrincipalPermission attribute. I believe the Name property on this attribute matches the user under which IISExpress and my application are running.
Thanks in advance for your help.
IISExpress runs with current user identity and changing ProcessModel username/password won't help. Only way to run with particular identity is to launch iisexpress.exe with 'runas'.
I'm probably way too late to help, but have you tried changing your project to run with Local IIS instead of IIS Express?
Here's the way I do it (you could start in Visual Studio, but I find this more straighforward):
Launch IIS Manager with admin privilege (important that you have rights to muck with localhost)
Add a new Application Pool running with the Identity you need for your database (probably your windows account)
Create a new application on iis
point it to your project folder
assign it to the app pool you just created
In Visual Studio open your project's properties (select the project in solution explorer hit Alt-Enter or use context menu). In the Web Section, select Local IIS instead of IIS Express. No need to create virtual directory (you already did).
Now your app can open the database. As an added bonus, your project is always available to run. no need to start it from visual studio.
Sorry my question might be duplicate but i dint find any correct solution.So im posting this question again...
First i have deployed a DNN website with sql server authentication.Site was working fine.
Later we re installed the sql server 2008. So im trying to give windows authentication to connect the site.
In web config connectionstring:i have removed the username and password and gave Integrated security="true" .
In IIS :Site -> Authentication -> windows Authentication ->enabled and all others disabled.
once i browse the site is redirecting to DNN install Wizard
Need Help.
In SQL Server did you configure the Windows account that the application pool (in IIS) is using to have DBOwner access to the database?
Also make sure to change BOTH connection strings in the database.
Depending on what version of IIS you are on, that account might differ. Older versions likely would use "Network Service" while newer versions might also use "Network Service" or an application pool specific account like "iis apppool\dnndev"
You'll also want to make sure that you aren't trying to assign a DOMAIN account to the database, unless of course that is what IIS is configured to use (as opposed to a local account)
