Single-Server Deployment and User Accounts
I'm working on a new readme item that revealed an error in the current release (v51020) of the Team Foundation Installation Guide.
In the User Accounts Required for Team Foundation Server Setup, there is text that incorrectly reads:
In a single-server deployment, you have the option of using Active Directory domain user accounts or local user accounts.
In the very next paragraph there is contradictory (but correct) text that reads:
Single-Server Deployment
To set up and configure Team Foundation Server using a single-server deployment on a computer joined to an Active Directory domain, you will need three Active Directory domain user accounts as outlined in the table below. To set up and configure Team Foundation Server using a single-server deployment on a computer that is a member of a workgroup, you can use local user accounts.
In a single-server deployment, you don't have the option of using Active Directory domain user accounts or local user accounts. You should use domain user accounts. If you try to use local users accounts on a computer that is joined to a domain, Team Foundation Server setup will probably fail with an error 28100, Error loading Event web service.
Update [11/5] - Actually, you can use a local user account to run setup when the computer is joined to a domain, but I can't imagine why you'd bother.
