How to rename an agent pool in TFS


How to rename an existing agent pool in Team Foundation Server 2017?

I've created an agent pool in TFS 2017. Now I want to rename it for a better understanding.


Solution

  • We cannot rename the existing agent pool in TFS, you can delete the existing agent pool, then create a new pool with the name for a better understanding, then reconfigure the agents with the new pool.

    On the Settings->Agent Pools, for each Pool Name on its right there is a small black triangle pointing down, left click on it, a context menu will appear, last menu item is 'Delete', click on that the Agent Pool will be gone after a confirmation dialog.

    Deploy an agent on Windows
