Installing/configuring TFS 2010 on domain computer without using domain user accounts
===

I'm installing Team Foundation Server 2010 on a managed server (LiquidWeb).  This server is on a domain, but all administrative/user accounts are local.  This doesn't seem to be a setup that TFS handles well.  My first issue was during the installation, as TFS requires a domain user for the SharePoint installation when installed on a domain.  I ended up skipping the SharePoint installation in order to temporarily get around this, but have been running into issues anyway.  My issues seem to be authentication-related, but there has been very little that I've been able to do so it's hard to tell.  For example, when I try to test URLs through the TFS admin console, I get the "TF30063: You are not authorized to access..." error even though I am logged in as the administrator of the server.  When I click 'Administer Security' in the console, I'm asked to provide my credentials.  Again, I enter the local Administrator username and password, but it says I'm not authorized.  The local administrator is also set as the TFS service account and is one of the admin console users.

When I attempt to go to the web access url on the server, it prompts for my credentials but does not accept the same local admin.  However, when I go to the web access url on a separate computer, it accepts the same credentials and takes me to the VS team web access site, although it tells me that "Team Foundation services are not available from server `http://server:8080/tfs`".  I think it's worth noting here that it gives the same server url in the error no matter what url I have set in the admin console.

Has anyone been successful with a similar setup, or have any ideas for how to address these issues?  Removing the server from the domain is not an option.
