On getting latest for a branch from TFS, I got an error

"TF30063: You are not authorized to access Microsoft-IIS/8.5."

only for a particular file in a folder of one of the projects. Searching for solution online I came across this link which suggested to log out of some wrong account and log back in.

However I have only one account which is my office domain account and I cannot use any other account to login to TFS. On checking with some colleagues they just asked me to login to VPN and try. I basically use VPN to connect to office network when I am working from home. Though I was already in office I was suggested to login to office network and try to get the latest for that file which worked.

My query is when I was not connected to VPN and while getting latest from TFS, why the error

"TF30063: You are not authorized to access Microsoft-IIS/8.5."

not occur on other files in that same folder whereas it occurred for only one file and how come logging to to VPN resolved it?

Any thoughts?

  • Can you check and share the logs in Event Viewer of the TFS server? Did you get the same log as this issue: https://mattyrowan.com/2014/02/26/tf30063-you-are-not-authorized-to-access-microsoft-iis7-5/? – Eddie Chen - MSFT Nov 15 '16 at 02:07

This seems to be a cache issue. First,try to remove your office account info which stored in Credential Manager （Control Panel-All Control Panel Items-Credential Manager-Windows Manager）

enter image description here

Also clear TFS and VS cache. Then reconnect to TFS in Visual Studio and do the get latest for that particular file.

Update

  1. Checkout that particular file and check in an old version of that file.
  2. Do the "take latest" action.

This may not generate the error again.

  • Thanks Patrick for that information, but I do not have any credentials stored in Credentials stored in Credential Manager, Clearing the TFS cache did not work either. – Piush Nov 07 '16 at 10:36
  • After clear cache, on TFS Server machine, click *Start* and select *Run*… open the dialog box, then input ***iisreset.exe*** and click OK, wait it run completely. You can also try the method in my update answer, this operation may not generate the error again. – PatrickLu-MSFT Nov 08 '16 at 02:13
