When I start create my first build definition for Team project I face the following error,
TF225001: Creating a build definition requires a build controller be defined for this team project collection. There may not be any controller configured or you may not have permission to view them
So after little search I figure it out it will be as the following
So now if you create a new build definition you should see the following screen
but the problem that I didn’t choose network service so I have the following error “Cannot start service TFSBuildServiceHost on computer”
and after good search on event log I found that this because failure of the login so I change it to be a network service as the previous configuration.






Hi,
Thanks for the article. Really helped me in setting up TFS build.
Very simple and very good presentation …
Keep doing the good work like this.
Well written. Thanks!
Any ideas why I do not have the build definition node in the tree?
Check your permission?
Thanks
Thanks for the good and simple presentation but I still have TF225001 error…
Any idea about the cause?
I am using TFS 2010 and VS 2010.
