Team System – Create a Sharepoint Project Portal for an existing team project

sharepointtfsvisual studio 2010

I have an existing Team Project in Team System 2010 which, when I originally created it, I opted not to create a Sharepoint Project Portal website. I now would like a Sharepoint Project Portal website for the Team Project.

How do I do this?

In Visual Studio, I have tried Team->Team Project Settings->Portal Settings… and checking '"Enable team project portal" but I get the error:

TF229003: No response was received from following SharePoint site:
htttp:/. Verify that it is operational, or specify another
site

It seems that the TFS PowerTools have a command-line utility tfpt which lets you add a Project Portal for an existing Team Project. 

tfpt addprojectportal
