 Default Component Deployment Timeout – Default deployment timeout used in new components.

triggered by a TFS build. If the threshold is reached, the deployment is considered a failure.
 AD/TFS-Based Group Refresh Interval – Refresh interval (in minutes) to automatically update Groups
linked to AD or TFS groups. A value of 0 turns off the auto-refresh functionality. The size and complexity
of your AD forest will impact the time it takes to completely refresh all synchronized groups. So, a larger
value may work best.
