How to add additional build agent on TFS 2017

Question

Hello,

We've a TFS 2017 server installed in a domain environment. The TFS 2017 build service is installed and configured on a separate server.

We've created an "Agent pool" where we added the build server name as agent name.

Question : How can we add some more build agents on the same server ? Any procedure ? 

I highly appreciate your help.

Thanks

Hi BAHADURI,

Thanks for posting here.

No special procedures.

Just follow the standard procedures mentioned in this link : https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/vsts/build-release/actions/agents/v2-windows#download-and-configure-the-agent

1. Download the agent to a new location in the same machine
2. Configure the agent

Besides, this forum is about MSuild, if above not help you, you can submit this question with a new thread on stackoverflow with TFS tag.

Hope this helps.
