Visual Studio Team Services Error in AX 2012 (TF204017)

Recently I ran into an issue with my AX 2012 workspace that is connected to Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS, VSO, Online TFS). When I opened AX an infolog appeared containing the following error message:

C:\AxRepository\AX
Team foundation server error
TF204017: The operation cannot be completed because the user (Volker Deuss) does not have one or more required permissions (Use) for workspace AXILITYR3CU9_AXWORKSPACE0;Volker Deuss.
TF204017: The operation cannot be completed because the user (Volker Deuss) does not have one or more required permissions (Use) for workspace AXILITYR3CU9_AXWORKSPACE0;Volker Deuss.
Synchronization failed.

VSO is called Visual Studio Team Services now

In the context of Connect(); //2015 Microsoft announced that Visual Studio Online was renamed to

Visual Studio Team Services

The reason for that would be that people confused VSO as a browser-based IDE. Everything besides the name remains the same.

How-to create your own CONTOSO-like virtual machine (Pt. 1)

11/17/201511/26/2015 by volker

Since this little blog is kind of development related by nature I had the need for a suitable development environment after its start. The environment had to be

autonomous and independent
slim and runnable on a notebook with reasonable performance nonetheless
current standard AX (AX 2012 R3 CU9)
development-ready
equipped with data

How you can create such an environment is described in the following. The result is a great choice for demo or training purposes, too.

How-to create a Microsoft Account using an existing e-mail

10/28/201511/04/2015 by volker

Some of you might say that it is ridiculous to blog about this but new workmates are asked to provide their Microsoft Account (formerly known as Live Id) and often they have to (or want to) create new ones. One thing that obviously is not well-known is the fact that you don’t have to use an e-mail address from one of the Microsoft domains. Since I’m administrating more and more applications that use my fellow’s Microsoft Accounts I’d be interested in a common pattern which would have been easy to achieve if all of them had only used their company e-mail address!
