An account password has expired or is about to expire
The information in this article applies to:
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010
Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008
Application-tier server
Team Foundation Server Complete Health Check
Team Foundation Server Framework Health Check
The Best Practices Analyzer tool for Team Foundation Server checks the expiration date of the TFSService service account. This account is used for all of the Web services for Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, for the Visual Studio Team Foundation Background Job Agent, and as the identity for the application pools that Team Foundation uses.
A warning message appears if the password for that account is about to expire. An error appears if that password already has expired.
To resolve this issue, you must first update the password for that account on the domain. You must then update the password on the servers that are running components of Team Foundation. You can use either the Team Foundation Administration Console or the **TFSConfig Accounts **command-line tool to change TFSService.
For more information, see the following topic on the Microsoft Web site: Change the Service Account or Password for Team Foundation Server.
