Run a TFS2012 Build Service on a Machine in an untrusted domain

TFS 2012 Server Update 2

I'm trying to follow the following the blog below to achive creating a build service on another domain.

Specify the account used to connect to your Team Foundation Server (section)

The build machine is on a different domain b(untrusted) than the domain a TFS server.

I have 2 accounts

domaina\tfsbuild

and domainb\tfsbuild

they both have the same passwords.

When I try to register a build service using TFS Admin Console:

Run the Service as: domainb\tfsbuild

Connect to Team Foundation Server as: domaina\tfsbuild

I'm getting an error "TFS254021: The account name or password you specified is not valid. Is it a requirement to have both domaina and domainb on a trust relationship?

Basically yes. TFS authentication is based on Windows Authentication. It is possible to provide access to TFS from domains other than the one TFS is in but you must establish a trust relationship between those domains. Otherwise you will not be able to access your TFS server from another domain. Check out Trusts and Forests Considerations for Team Foundation Server.
