title: Team Foundation Server 2008 password change breaks Team System Sharepoint service
body: <p>To comply with a new password policy, I've had to change domain passwords on our Team Foundation Server 2008 box and also the build agent box.</p>
  <p>I've now managed to get TFS working normally (work item tracking, source control etc) by using the TFSAdmin command to change the Team Foundation server account password, and my development team can once again all use that normally.</p>
  <p>However when I try to create a new Team Project I get the following error message:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Error  Unable to connect to the Windows SharePoint Services at
  devserver2</p>
  <p>Explanation  The Project Creation Wizard was not able to connect to
  the Windows SharePoint Services at devserver2. The reason for the
  failed connection cannot be determined at this time. Because the
  connection failed, the wizard was not able to complete creating the
  Windows SharePoint Services site</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>The only things that have changed are the domain passwords. All the Windows Sharepoint services on that machine appear to be working.</p>
  <p>The Event log shows the following error:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <h1>50071: Unable to connect to the database WSS_Config_f6496d3cb3884ed1a323b572de037b89 on DEVSERVER2.</h1>
  </blockquote>
  <p>but the database server is running and Studio Manager can see the databases, which all have dbowner privileges for the domain account TFSSERVICE.</p>
  <p>What step(s) have I missed?</p>
  <p>TIA.</p>
