Hi!
While removing a user from the group of valid tfs users I get the Error:
TF50632: An error occurred removing the group member. There is no group member with the security identifier (SID)
The problem is that the user is a regular domain user and should be fine. I can remove other users without problem.
Thanks for any help

Error TF50632 Removing User
dave45
We use SID's to identify the users. SID are unique identifiers created by domain controller(AD). In this case due to some problem the SID for that user has become invalid or got changed in AD. Now TFS is not able to identify the user based on the SID.
If SID is really invalid, next time TFS sync's information with AD we will automatically delete that user.
Do you still see this user in the system after next round of sync

If there's a user in that group, it means that they have permissions in some other group inside TFS - if you're trying to remove all their permissions, you'll need to find the other permissions they have assigned and remove them.

It's pretty much the same error:

Are you sure that user is a current member of the group
What's the output of this command
Tfssecurity /server:http://ettfs1:8080 /im "Lizenzierte Team Foundation-Benutzer"

We're out of ideas unfortunately - at this point you'll need to start a support case to have them track down what's going on.
Sorry.

Hi,
Sorry but we moved to the "full" licence version anyway, so we haven't worried about that problem. But it wasn't ever really solved.

I guess so. (When does this sync takes place ) I got the problem now since 3 weeks with some reboots meanwhile. As long as I know there haven't been changes in the AD.

Hi,
I am having the same problem and wondered if you managed to get it sorted out
Thanks

Sync starts every hour. So if the problem was with expired or changed SID it should have been fixed. Let me talk to developers on the team to get more information.
Can you check you event log and let me know if there are any other errors in event log.

Can you try using TfsSecurity.exe (it's in the Tools subdir on the app tier) to do the removal and paste the output/error you get
It should be something like (assuming you're logged in to the app tier at the time):
TfsSecurity /server:http://localhost:8080/ /g- "Team Foundation Licensed Users" userto\remove

Thanks for the reply!
Oops. Sorry. It's not the group of valid users, that I try to remove a user from. It's the group of licensed users. (A little translation mistake. Its a German installation)
Any suggestions for that problem
