Time-shifting test and TFS source control

Some of my testing involves changing the client PC date. The problem is that whenever a test ends with the client date shifted, I get a series of about 5 or 6 frustrating popup dialogs from the integrated MS Team Foundation Server source control for failures to connect/authenticate with the server.



Obviously my tests attempt to restore the correct date when they terminate normally, but this persists as a problem during test development and debugging.



Why is TestComplete trying to make this connection at that time? No scripts under control ought be changing due to test execution; are there additional files I need to exclude from control?

    A support ticket has been submitted. Another consequence of this is that our IT department tracks these errors as failed logins, so my credentials can be locked out by running several tests in a row without rectifying the PC date.
