TFS 2010 Builds Timing Out

I'm dealing with the following TFS 2010 build issue for the last 2 weeks and at this point completely out of options to try.

Here's the issue description: - builds fail with an 'operation timeout' error at various stages of the build - most of the time its during the GET operation (different files) - other times it happens during the actual BUILD

The build definition is correct since we've had builds run properly before, the problem happened only after we moved the TFS VM onto a new WIN2012 Hyper-v server - no other changes were done to TFS or its VM.

I've checked all the paths and account permissions and everything seems to check out - really need some input on this one.

UPDATE:

After weeks of troubleshooting we finally threw our hand up and decided to do the unthinkable - call MS Support :)

Turns out the culprit was ESET Antivirus. It was installed but disabled on the TFS VM, when we restarted the VM that must have started it back up.

According to MS Support this is a common issue, the recommended approach is to keep the VM running clean and w/o an antivirus.
