The ConnectionTimeout for a Web site is set to a non-default value

  • Article

The information in this article applies to:

  • Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010

  • Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 

  • SQL Server 2008

  • Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

  • Servers that host the application tier, Team Foundation Server Proxy, and SharePoint Products

  • Team Foundation Server Complete Health Check

  • SharePoint Products Health Check

The Best Practices Analyzer tool for Team Foundation Server checks the connection time-out for the Web sites on which Team Foundation Server relies. 

An error appears if the connection time-out for a Web site is not the default value. This value determines the length of time in seconds before the server disconnects an inactive user. The default value is 120 seconds for the default Web site and the SharePoint Central Administration Web site. The default value is 3600 seconds (1 hour) for the Web sites on which Team Foundation Server and Team Foundation Server Proxy rely.

To resolve this issue, change the connection time-out to the default value that the error message specifies for the affected Web site.
