How to add the client machine to Lab Virtual environment??

Question

We setup the tests running on the lab using Virtuval environment. Virtual environment has 2 machines.

1-WEB SERVER

2- Database server

I installed test agent as interactive on web server machine. Tests are running slowly through the build deploy test process on web server machine. So I want to add more machine (web client ) to the same Virtual environment to run the tests from new machine. When I open VM, I Dont' see the option to add new machine to the virtual environment . Can any one please help me how to do this??

Thank You & Appreciate your help

Hi, You will need SCVMM to create virtual machine for lab management. Install SCVMM on the TFS Application tier from here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/cc793138.aspx

You can only add/remove machines when your environment is stored in the library. When they are deployed you  cannot add a new machine.

I really hope they fix this in tfs11.
