Azure Build Pipeline not falling into correct queue

Question

I am creating a build pipeline using YAML for the first time and I have set the pool to be the Default pool with holds my self hosted windows agent - AzureDevOpsAgent001. This agent is located on a Windows 2012 R2 Server.

However when I run this build definition it seems to be falling into the Host Ubuntu 1604 queue. Therefor will not do anything as its waiting for a agent not available.

YAML:

pool:
  name: Default
  demands:
  - msbuild
  - visualstudio

Answer 1

You probably need check if the Default agent pool for YAML of your pipeline is Host Ubuntu 1604.

Edit your yml pipeline, in the right top corner click the 3 dots and select Triggers, go the Yaml page. And the check if the default agent pool has be set to Host Ubuntu 1604.
