The account running the TFS build service (NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE) needs to be added as a system user in the Release Management Server -

i receiving above error when attempting trigger release build. build works on own, , release works on own, cannot trigger release.

my problem there no such thing scheme user in release management. there service user, , above user set service user. it's set release manager.

it in project collection administrators grouping in tfs , has "make requests on behalf of others" permission. i've done think need in order work.

the thing can think of release management installed on different server tfs (although on same server build agent), , perhaps using "different" network service user, since believe network service user local (although i'm not sure).

i've tried can find. other people receiving error, seems resolved setting service user permission in release management.

is there else need set work?

thanks.

you right network service business relationship beingness local each machine. , appears issue. when process running local networkservice tries authenticate remote system, domain\machinename$.

so prepare issue, seek add together tfs build service computer name in appropriate local security groups of release management server using domain\{yourtfsmachinename}$ business relationship tfs build service.
