TFS 2013: adding a new build agent to another machine

Question

For my TFS 2013 server on machine "A" with a configured build controller, I am trying to add another build agent located on another machine "B". the new build agent on machine "B" must be controlled by the same build controller on machine "A". TFS 2013 on machine "B".

To do this, in the Team Foundation administration console on computer "A" in the "Build Configuration" section, I use the "New Agent ..." function to add a new agent.

The problem is that I cannot change the "Computer Name" because it is being searched. How to add machine agent "B"?

Thanks for helping me!

Answer 1

You need to install the command assembly (from the TFS installation disk) on another server. Then configure only the Team Build section. When you get to creating the controller / agent, select only the agent, from there you can choose another controller (A).
