title: Unable to create new TFS 2010 project w/ SharePoint site
body: <p>When attempting to create a new TFS 2010 team project with a SharePoint portal, I get the following message:</p>
  
  <p>TF218017: A SharePoint site could not be created for use as the team project portal. The following error ocurred: TF250044: A SharePoint site cannot be created at the following location: <a href="http://XXXX/sites/DefaultCollection/XXXXXX" rel="nofollow">http://XXXX/sites/DefaultCollection/XXXXXX</a>. The following user account does not have the required permissions in SharePoint Products to create a site at that location: DOMAIN\USER. The user account must have sufficient permissions to create a sub-site on the following site: <a href="http://XXXX/sites/DefaultCollection/XXXXXX" rel="nofollow">http://XXXX/sites/DefaultCollection/XXXXXX</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I read a suggestion somewhere that mentioned adding my account to the Site collection administrators of the DefaultCollection.  Step 1 was navigating to <a href="http://XXXX/sites/DefaultCollection" rel="nofollow">http://XXXX/sites/DefaultCollection</a>... well, that failed with a big ol' "Error: Access Denied"</p>
  
  <p>I have access to the TFS Administration Console and have been told I am an administrator w/ full privileges. Unfortuneately, the consultant that setup TFS is no longer with us.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions for troublehsooting this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
