Have been attempting to remedy this. The only solution I found in googling involves changing the settings for the VM NIC card, however, we use Hyper V and those configuration settings are not available. Currently a TFS 2013 build server resides and operates properly on this machine. TFS operates on another VM, but there appears to be no connection issues for the 2013 versions TFS=>TFSBuild=>TFSDB
Thanks.

The bug was fixed in TFS 2015 Update 3 This issue was actually caused by a bug which would not allow creation of a build agent with an underscore character in the service name.
