Unable to Create a Test Rig VSTS 2010

Question

Hi,

I have installed VS 2010 Team System Beta1 on Comp1. I have then installed "Visual Studio Team System 2010 Test Load Agent Beta 1" on Comp2.
From "Administer Test Controllers" on Comp1 I added the agent on Comp2 (by giving the comp2 name).
The status shows disconnected. When I select it and "Restart", I get the error message that --
"Cannot open Service Control manager on Computer 'Comp2'.  This operation might require other priviledges. The RPC server is unavailable"

All the agent/controller services on both machines are running as "Local Service"

I then removed installations from both comps and re-installed and tried again but was unable to get the Rig working.

I would appreciate some help in being able to establish the rig and run tests remotely.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi Everyone,
I was able to resolve this. However, where can I find QTAgentServiceUI.exe?
My agent machine does not have this executable or QTAgentServiceUI.bat either.
I just downloaded and installed Visual Studio Team System 2010 Test Load Agent Beta 1 and nothing else.

Can you please guide me as where and how I can install QTAgentServiceUI.exe or QTAgentServiceUI.bat and run the CodedUI tests on the agent machine?

Thanks

After a whole days worth of research and reading blogs.. I was finally able to run UI tests remotely.
I had to stop the QTAgentService and run the QTAgentServiceUI.bat from cmd and then initiate the test run from the controller machine.
