Problem adding TFS users from a trusted NT domain

Yesterday I was invited to one of our customers to give some advise about how to create and administer Team Projects in TFS. I was prepared to show in one hour how to create Team Projects, adding users to projects and setting security configurations in TFS including Source Control, Sharepoint and Reporting Services. Suddenly, I got an error when addind users to TFS:

The user we were trying to add does not belong to the same domain of TFS, however it is from a trusted domain. If you know me, I am not a system administration guy, so I decided to use the tool that everybody use: a search engine (in my case Google is the one). After three hours investigating the problem, here is the conclusion: the user that we were trying to add resides in an NT domain which is not supported by TFS.

Lesson learned: when one of your customers ask you to install/administer a TFS, remember to ask "Is there any NT domain around your infrastructure"?

Yesterday, I was confronted with an error envolving Web Application Projects (WAP). We installed the WAP plugin in our developers machine, but when the build runs in the build server (Team Foundation Build) we get the error

The imported project "C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" was not found.

To solve the problem, I just copied my local folder C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\WebApplications folder to the build server at the same location. After solving the problem, I Googled for some more information and the cause of it, and found this post that talks about it.
