During the Team Foundation Server installation process for a client, I am getting the following error message.
Error 28936.TFServerStatusValidator: the Team Foundation Server ServerStatus web service failed with 404 HTTP NotFound status. Verify internet Information services, Windows sharepoint services, and ASP.NET are confgured correctly and the ASP.NET 2.0 web service extensions are allowed.
The frustrating part is that the error message above is a modal pop-up that occuring during the installation process requesting me to either (Retry or Cancel). Retry just continues to fail while Cancel rollback the installation.
While the installation is paused in this state, I am able to open an IE browser and invoke ServerStatus web service using a url like the following. The only caveat is that IE prompts me for my domain creds before calling the webservice.
http://<servername>:8080/services/v1.0/serverstatus.asmx op=GetServerStatus
Could it be that the prompting for creds is why the TFSServerStatusValidator fails If so, why might I get prompted for creds when I am remoted into the TFS server with my domain creds and am part of the administrators group on the server

My TFS installation completed successfully after performing the following unrelated tasks on my tfs server.
1) In Internet Explorer Tools->Internet Options -> Connections Tab -> Lan Settings
2) Obviously, I had tried to install TFS multiple times while trying to figure out this issue. In SQL Server on my TFS server, I noticed 4 SQL Server jobs with a prefix of "tfs" that I deleted. I am assuming this was residue left from one of the previous failed attempts at installing TFS on this server.
The TFS team may want to note that these sql jobs seemed to be left behind after the install failed. This could probably be fixed in future release.
After making these two changes, my TFS installation completed successfully. I doubt these items are related, and I did not uninstall and undo each in an attempt to figure this out. Rather, I am just glad the install finally succeeded.
