The Best Practices Analyzer tool for Team Foundation Server queries the metabase for Internet Information Services (IIS). This query determines the script execute permissions that are set for the virtual directories of the Web sites for Team Foundation.
An error appears if script execute permissions are not allowed for a virtual directory that requires these permissions. The error contains the name of the Web site and the virtual directory where the script execute permissions are not allowed.
To resolve this issue, set the execute permissions to allow script execution for all virtual directories for Team Foundation, including those that are associated with SharePoint Products. You can ignore the execute permissions for SQL Server Reporting Services and all other permissions.
