Connecting to remote TFS 2010 instance gives TF30063 error

I connect to a remote TFS 2010 instance using Visual Studio 2010. I can Get Latest for all files within a particular project except for one database backup file. When I try to Get Latest on this file I get the following error:

TF30063: You are not authorized to access Microsoft-IIS/6.0

I've tried clearing my local VS client cache, but that doesn't help. There are no entries in the Event Logs to give any clues as to what is going on.

Any help appreciated, or any ideas where I can find out more diagnostic information via would be appreciated.

Colin.

It sounds like you may have a corrupt cache file on the server. I recommend logging on to the server and wiping the cache (usually under C:\program files\microsoft team foundation server 2010\Application Tier\Web Services\_tfs_data\{guid}\proxy)

Delete all the files there (it's not going to break anything, that folder is just a cache) and try your Get Latest again (no need to restart the server). If that doesn't work, I recommend contacting MS Customer Support.

Ok, so I've fixed it. I took the size of the database backup file down to 1.5Mb by removing obsolete data sets from it and it worked.

Not sure if it was a TFS problem or a work proxy problem - maybe a 25Mb file transfer limit imposed. The latter seems more likely to me.
