When using TFS as a continuous integration platform with TFS, you may find that time to time with larger pieces that source control queries will start to timeout when automated builds are triggered. Thus, when a build is triggered and the sources are attempted to be pulled down to the build server working directory, you will get an error similar to the following:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\TeamBuild\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets: error : : The operation has timed out.

To get around this problem you can change the timeout settings in the registry for the HKLM in the following location:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\TeamFoundation\RequestSettings

@DefaultTimeout: DWORD –> Sets the timeout, in milliseconds, for an individual request (the default is 5 minutes)

This should be done carefully, as actual issues might not bubble up as they should in regards to connectivity.
