TFS 2015 test agent configuration causes the machine to restart


As you know, there are no test controllers in TFS 2015 and the test agent can dynamically deployed and configured as part of the build itself. enter image description here

I’m trying to configure test agents in my TFS 2015 and every time on the Deploy TestAgent step while running the ‘Task: Configure test agent on machine ‘, the machine on which I’m trying to deploy the test agent, restarts!

Has anyone come across this behavior before? I’m trying to understand why this happens and any input on this appreciated.

The build moves to the next step viz. ‘Run Tests’ only after the restart completes. The machine where the test agent is getting deployed gets restarted at the last task - ConfigureTestAgent

  • Seems like this is by design and will be fixed in update1 to TFS 2015
