TFS 2013: Adding a new build agent on a different machine

5
votes

For my TFS 2013 server on machine "A" with one build controller configured, I am trying to add another build agent that's located on another machine "B". the new build agent on machine "B" should be controlled by the same build controller of machine "A". TFS 2013 on machine "B" is installed.

To accomplish this, in Team Foundation Administration Console of machine "A" under "Build Configuration", I use the function "New Agent..." to add a new agent.

Problem is that I cannot change the "Computer Name" because it is geyed out. How can I add the agent of machine "B"?

Thanks for helping me out!

You need to install team build (from the TFS installation disk) on the other server. Then only configure the Team Build section. When you get to the creation of the controller/agent, only select agent, from there you'll be able to select the other controller (A).
