Team Foundation Server Create New Project Fails - Code TFS30159


When attempting to create a new team project in TFS I'm getting the following error:

Error TF30170: The plugin Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.Classification failed during task UploadStructure from group Classification.

Explanation Plugin error text: “TF30159: Error occurred while updating project description for "vstfs:///Classification/TeamProject/9faf261d-b680-439f-ad23-e4afefc22b0e"”

User Action Contact your Team Foundation Server administrator.

Here is a copy of the log where the exception is thrown:

---begin Exception entry---

--- end Exception entry ---

I think it might be something to do with the projectUri but I'm not sure.

if I try to access the project via the url: vstfs:///Classification/TeamProject/29bfb07e-5578-4bdc-96d1-ec1b1d33a186

I get the following TFS error:

However I'm not sure if this error is simply because the create is failing or whether it is causing it.

Any ideas about what is causing this and how to fix it would be much appreciated.


Solution

    1. Try on another client machine to create a team project to clarify whether the issue is from server side or client side.

    2. Check TFS installation whether it meets the requirement.

    3. Clean user cache: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\6.0\Cache.

    4. Repair VS/Team Explorer.
