Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I'm unable to get past this error during my initial installation of v3.0.3621.03. I've run using elevated command prompt and have even disabled UAC to test with no success. System info: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise TFS2010 Beta 2 Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.    Report

TFS touches on so many technologies that any environmental security setup errors can cause all sorts of problems. Please post the installation log and I will take a look.

I think I've figured it out. It appears that the installer is not "instance-aware." It didn't like that we had an instantiated Report Server (the service name was "ReportServer$SQL2008" instead of "ReportServer." To get around this, I installed another instance of RS using the default Instance on the same box and reconfigured TFS to use the new RS Instance. All set now. Is this a known issue or requirement?

A reporting services named instance, that would explain the problem. It is possible to specify the reporting services instance name during the SfTS template installation using a command line parameter. Here is an example installation command line: msiexec /i "ScrumforTeamSystem.3.0.3621.03.msi" /l*v install.log TEAMFOUNDATIONSERVERDTSQLINSTANCENAME="My Named Service" Regards, Crispin Parker, Senior Practice Consultant, EMC Consulting.

I want the instance name to be "ReportServer$TFSFEIReports"    Report

Chad said our TFS Database Server was a default instance database, but the report server was a different named instance so instead of renaming TEAMFOUNDATIONSERVERDTSQLINSTANCENAME we renamed REPORTSERVERSERVICENAME msiexec /i "ScrumforTeamSystem.3.0.3698.00_x64.msi" /l*v install.log REPORTSERVERSERVICENAME="ReportServer$TFSFEIReports"    Report
