I still remember the trouble I had to change the service account on Team Foundation Server 2008. So I’m really glad to see how easy this became in Team Foundation Server 2010.
-
Open the administration console for Team Foundation. For more information, see Open the Team Foundation Administration Console.
-
Expand the server name and click Application Tier.
-
In the Application Tier pane, click Change Service Account. The Update Service Account window opens.
-
Perform one of the following steps:
-
If you want to use a system account, click System Account, and then choose a system account from the drop-down list.
If your server is a member of an Active Directory domain, the default choice is Network Service. If your server is a member of a workgroup, the default choice will be Local Service. Depending on your deployment, the default might be the only choice.
System accounts do not have passwords. If you choose to use a system account for TFSService, you should not type a password in the password field.
-
If you want to use a domain or workgroup account, click User Account, type the name of the account in Account Name, and then type the password of the account in Password.

Click OK.
