TFPT.EXE CreateTeamProject - TF30155: Error occurred while trying to create project

I am using the command - 

tfpt.exe createteamproject /collection:url /teamproject:"Projectname" /processtemplate:CMMI /noportal

from command prompt to create a new Team project in Visual Studio Team services(VSTS). In VSTS I have created a free trial account and using this url and credentials to create the team project.

When I run the above command in command prompt I get an error exception. Detailed log is attached below.

Please note- I do not have any developer/programming background, I am just looking to automate this task using powershell
I have visual studio 2013 and TFS 2013 power tools installed on the machine where I am running this command.
Has anyone seen this error before?

C:\Windows\system32>tfpt.exe createteamproject /collection:https://hmsutar.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection /teamproject:Mycode /processtemplate:scrum /noportal

All provided settings are valid.

For Visual Studio Team Servives, you need to use the Web UI or the REST Api to create a new Team project. The API Reference can be found here:

To pass the correct Process template ID you can query the available process templates here:

A simple powershell script or a small Console appliation would allow you to call these from the commandline. A small template and creative use of Curl or wget might also work.
