I have configured a new build controller

Current Controller config:

Windows server 2008 R2 TFS : Tfs2012.Update4 Visual studio 2015

New Controller config:

Window server 2016 standard TFS : Tfs2012.Update4 Visual studio 2015

If i trigger a build to current controller if there is a error it throws the errors.

But if i trigger a build to new build controller build get stuck at some point and never comes out. It do not throw any error.

Moreover, no logs get copied to TFS server, only empty folder gets created with Defintionname_time.

I tried manually building the solution using msbuild command it get succeeded.

I am new to TFS build please help.

Window server 2016 is not supporeted for TFS 2012.

Please refer to Requirements and compatibility for details.

You should consider migrating to the latest vNext build system TFS 2017 or even TFS 2018.

The xaml buil system is too old and not supporeted by TFS team.
