I wanted to validate configuring a second 2010 build server with just an agent on it. I have two VPCs running on my Windows 7 machine. The one Win2K8 Server VPC (TFS2010-01) is the TFS Server and is configured as a build server with a controller and agent. The second Win2K8 Server VPC (TFS2010Bld02) can connect to the TFS Project Collection on the TFS Server. The two servers are a workgroup and the TFSBuild account password is the same in both VPCs, it's a local admin and in the TFS roles/groups for being a build administrator. I don't have a domain VPC running to allow the two to use a common account so I went with the idea that in a workgroup the account should work. The Connect to Team Project Collection is http://tfs2010-01:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection and the Local Build Service Endpoint is http://TFS2010Bld02:9191/Buildv3.0/Services on TFS2010Bld02<http://TFS2010Bld02:9191/Buildv3.0/Services%20on%20TFS2010Bld02>. When I try to finish creating the Agent on the TFS2010Bld02 server I cannot. If I use the NT account I get an error "Communication failure between the Administration Console and the Build Service: The pipe endpoint 'net.pipe//build/ServiceHost/2' could not be found on your local machine. This is usually caused by the Build Service being in an incorrect state. Would you like to restart the Build Service?" If I try to use the TFSBuild account it wants to try to authenticate the TFS2010-01\TFSBuild account which isn't an id on the TFS2010Bld02 server and I get an error that the Build Service can't be registered since it failed to grant TFS2010\TFSBuild access to the IIS configuration and other directories used by ASP.NET. Details are that aspnet_regiis failed with a code 1. Even with the Build Service not running on the TFS2010Bld02 server I can add an agent and tag it and see the tag show up on the list of available tags on the TFS2010-01 server's Agent 1 as an option to tag the agent with. Has anyone tried to get a Build Agent running from a Controller on a different server (VPC or real machine)?
Adam has a great post http://blogs.msdn.com/b/adamroot/archive/2010/03/02/configuring-team-foundation-server-2010-build-services-outside-of-domains-and-domain-trust.aspx but, so far I am stuck trying to get the Build Service running on the TFS2010Bld02 server. Am I missing something? Thanks, Jim
