Incorrect or unexpected server bindings are set

The information in this article applies to:

  • Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010

  • Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 

  • SQL Server 2008

  • Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

  • Servers that host the application tier and SharePoint Products

  • Team Foundation Server Complete Health Check

  • Team Foundation Server Framework Health Check

  • SharePoint Products Health Check

The Best Practices Analyzer tool for Team Foundation Server queries the metabase for Internet Information Services (IIS). This query determines the server bindings and secure bindings, such as the IP address and the host header name, that are defined for Web sites on which Team Foundation relies. 

The following messages appear if any Web site is not configured with the default server bindings or is configured with secure bindings.

  • Unexpected server bindings are set (Warning)

  • Unexpected secure bindings are set (Warning)

  • Incorrect server bindings are set (Error)

  • Incorrect secure bindings are set (Error)

Team Foundation Server uses the identities in the following table:

Service

IP Address

Host Header Name

Default Web Site

(All Unassigned)

None

Team Foundation Server Web Service

(All Unassigned)

None

SharePoint Central Administration Service

(All Unassigned)

None

An error, Incorrect server bindings are set, appears if any Web site is configured with an IP address that does not match the address that the server is using.

Note

You do not need to resolve warning messages, but you must resolve error messages. Before you change any unexpected server bindings, you must determine why the server bindings for a Web site were changed so that you do not violate any organizational policies.

To resolve the issue, log on to the server to which the error message refers and change the server bindings to the Web site that the warning or error specifies.

Required Permissions

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators security group on the server to which the error message refers.
