Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You add a user to a domain (domain 1).
-
You add a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010 server to a different domain (domain 2).
Note Domain 2 trusts domain 1. -
You add the user to the TFS server. The user can now access the TFS server.
-
You migrate the user and their security identifier (SID) history from domain 1 to domain 2.
In this scenario, the user can no longer use their domain 1 credentials to access the TFS server.
Note This occurs within 24 hours of the migration.
Cause
This issue occurs because of a synchronization issue during the daily synchronization job on the TFS server. When this issue occurs, the TFS server marks the domain 1 user account as invalid.

Workaround
To work around this issue, replace the domain 1 identity with the domain 2 identity within the TFS server, and then access the TFS server by using the domain 2 credentials. To do this, type the following command at a command prompt:
TFSConfig Identities /change /fromdomain:domain1 /todomain:domain2 /account:AccountName /toaccount:AccountNameNote If the domain 1 identity only had access to the TFS server through Windows group membership, the TFS administrator may have to grant access to the domain 2 identity.
Status
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
