Can't create new project in Team Foundation Server 2010

I'm unable to add a new Team Project in TFS 2010:

Machine 1: I have a Virtual Machine which has windows 2008 R2 64 bit installed. The machine name is "staging". I have installed TFS 2010 trial version into it. I installed basic settings of TFS. I have no visual studio installed on this machine.

Machine 2: I have another Virtual Machine which has windows 7 32 bit in it. The Machine name is "Development". I have Visual Studio 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2 installed on this machine.

Now I want to create a new team project in "development" by using Visual Studio Team Explorer. I can successfully connected to TFS DefaultCollection. I used server's administrator credentials to connect to the TFS. But as soon as I try to create a new project, I get an error message which says:

TF30168: The new team project wizard experienced a failure checking your permissions to create project

I tried to add user "everyone" in TFS administration on "staging" for all groups and for each group one by one. But no luck. Then I tried to add local user in TFS in "development" but no luck.

I can provide you more detail if you want.

Are both VMs in the same domain? – John Saunders
well I'm not sure what you mean by Domain here. All Machines are part of a workgroup. Both VMs are running under windows 7 32 bit Host. "Staging" is on VMWare while "Development" is on Virtual PC 007. – user1181231
Its Virtual PC 2007 and not Virtual PC 007. – user1181231
Problem solved. That was the beta version of VS 2010 I was using on development. I took the trial version of VS 2010 from Microsoft and that worked for me. Now I can create new project. wopps. But thanks for your time and suggestions John. – user1181231
If you add this as the answer, then we can upvote it and it won't appear in the list of unanswered posts. – Vic Peters

You cannot use a beta version of Visual Studio 2010 to create a new Team Project on a RTM Team Foundation Server. The versions must match.
