Not able to configuration Test Agent.

Question

I have installed test controller on my TFS machine and tried installing Test Agent on my (client) machine where MTM is available, it throws an error “Failed to register this test agent with the test controller..…”. My systems are in work group, does it create any problem?

Because of this problem I am not able to configure “Lab Management” and not able to run coded UI test as well. Is there any work around for this problem?

Answer 1

Since the machines on which test agent is getting installed are in work group and there is no trust between test controller and test agent.

Solution to this is shadow account:

Step1: Create an local account on Test controller (say User1 with password Pass1 ) and add this to local groups: "TeamTestAgentService" and "TeamTestControllerUsers"

Step2: Create local account on test agent same as above account.

Step3: Now use this account to configure and run test agent configuration tool. Test agent service should be running with this account.

Lab Management solves this problem for virtual environment by setting lab service account during lab Management configuration on TFS Admin Console [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/gg131911.aspx ]

One just need to install test agent on virtual templates and TFS takes care of configuring test agent using lab service account on work group as well as domain joined virtual machines.

Answer 2

Tried Step1 to Step3 still face the same problem. Error log is as

"Failed to register this test agent with the test controller. Possible reasons could be you do not have the right permissions to connect to the test controller 100.100.100.100:6901, the log on account does not exist on the test controller machine, or a firewall is blocking the connection.
To fix this problem, verify that you are a local administrator on the test controller machine, that the log on account aatugade exists on the test controller machine, and that the Windows Firewall Settings on the test controller machine has "File and Printer Sharing" exception."

Answer 3

Rajesh,

Can you please verify that you have done all the steps mentioned in the documentation here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd648127.aspx#Workgroups 

I think you see the error because the account you use to run the agent configuration tool is not an Administrator (member of Administrators group) on the controller machine. Please add the shadow account as administrator on both agent and controller, use the same account to configure the test agent with controller and as the test agent service account. I think that should solve your problem. Please let me know if it doesnt.

Thanks.

Answer 4

Hi Darshan,

 

Tried all those options, created new user named "testuser" on both controller and agent machine with admin rights. User on controller machine is added to TeamTestAgentSevere, TeamTestControllerAdmins, TeamTestControllerUsers and Administrators Groups. User on agent machine is added to Administrators Groups.

 

Please see the entire log below...

Answer 5

Hi Darshan,

I still struggling with this issue, could you provide me any solution to overcome this situation?

 

-Rajesh

Answer 6

Hi Rajesh,

The logs which you have shared contains the following error which seems to me the real reason for the failure.

I, 2010/10/19, 15:11:57.745, CreateControllerObject: attempt 0,

System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): No such host is known

 

Can you please check whether the test agent machine is able to resolve the test controller machine (100.100.100.100)? You can check the resolution by opening a command prompt on the agent machine and doing a ping (ping 100.100.100.100) and see whether it works or not?

Regards

Aseem Bansal

Answer 7

I am able to ping test controller machine from my test agent machine. Both controller machine and agent machine are in work group do I need to make any other settings for that?

Answer 8

Hi Rajesh,

This seems strange.

Can you please share whether you used the controller machine name or its IPAddress in your ping test? If you used IPAddress, can you try with machine name as well?

From the error message, I assumed that the name "100.100.100.100" in the configuration logs is refering to controller machine name and not its IP address. If the configuration logs contain IP address does the ping request to the machine name resolves to the same IP address or different one?

Regards

Aseem Bansal

Answer 9

I am able to ping with both IP address and Machine Name. I am able to open the port (telnet) from test agent machine too.

Answer 10

Hmm..

1. I am assuming that you ran the configuration tool on 19th and today when ping worked, you did not try configuring it again , Right? If yes, can you please try running the configuration tool again and see whether it works or not. If it does not work, can you please paste the logs again?

2. If today with step 1, the configuration tool again fails with "no such host is known" error, can you please try using controller's IP address instead of controller's machine name in the configuration tool and see whether it works or not? If it also does not work, please paste these logs as well?

Regards

Aseem Bansal

Answer 11

Hi Aseem,

 

I am able to ping controller with IP address and Machine name as well, but still Agent fails to connect..

Tried posting the logs here but couldn't succeed...

Answer 12

You can send the logs directly to me at aseemb at microsoft dot com.

Regards

Aseem Bansal

Answer 13

Are you able to ping both ways (from controller to agent and vice-versa)? I am assuming that the password for "testuser" account is same on both machines.

 

Answer 14

Hi Gupta,

 

Yes, username and passwards on Test controller and Test Agent are same. I am able to ping (and telnet) test agent to test controller, in both ways.

Answer 15

Aseem Did you noticed this part of the log?

Checking the status of service VSTTAgent
Found that service VSTTAgent is installed:False

 

I have a very different troubleshoot configuration, where everything is on the same machine, firewall is off the user belongs to all the indicated groups and the Test Agent Simply can't find the controller. What is happening here? Why does the model has to be so complicated?

Answer 16

Rajesh, How was this issue solved?

I think I am having the same issue: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vstswebtest/thread/a89309a4-d1cc-420a-9a48-0397f4b5ec42

 

 

Answer 17

I had a similar problem.  I solved the problem by starting the test agent configuration tool and using "Run As..." the user account that I planned to use. 

Answer 18

I had the same issue and fixed after I added the shadow account in the administrator local group (besides "TeamTestAgentService" and "TeamTestControllerUsers") in test controller setup.

Answer 19

In case it helps anyone else, I eventually solved this problem by opening up TCP port 445 on my controller machine in the VMM firewall.  What I eventually discovered is that in addition to TCP port 6901, which the agents use to register with the controller, the agents and controller are attempting to do some communication over SMB/netbios.  By watching the network traffic and some searching, I found that this communication would work if I opened up TCP port 445 on ingress into by controller and agents machines in my below-the-OS firewall.

I suspect that this is what is being done by the controller and agent services when they say "open the printer and sharing" firewall settings, but that only helped in the OS itself, since I was running in a virtualized environment where a firewall also existed below the OS, I didn't understand the implications of this part of the configuration.

In summary, my VMM firewall allows TCP ports 6901 and 445 on ingress into the controller and agents.
