TF254043: The readiness checks could not start
Earlier today I tried to install Team Foundation Server 2010 RC on my Windows 7 machine. The installation went fine and easy, but the configuration wizard stopped with the following error:
“TF254043: The readiness checks could not start. For more information, see the following log file: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Team Foundation\Server Configuration\Logs\CFG_DPLY_AT_0226_072157.log”
I opened the above log file and found the following error description:

Solution:
Since my computer is connected to a domain, and while installing TFS I was working from home and not connected to my company’s network via VPN or DirectAccess, there was no connection to the domain controller.
To solve this issue I connected to my company’s network via VPN and ran the configuration wizard again. This time it went fine. If you don’t have a VPN connection, you’ll have to wait until next time you’re in the office.
