I m using TFS 2015, I saw that my build Agent is Offline :

I launch the VsoWorker.exe to see the logs and understand the error, Here is what I get but I found nothing from the internet : Any Idea please ?

Solution

    1. Make sure you deploy the Windows build agent by exactly following this article.

    2. Make sure the account that the agent is run under is in the "Agent Pool Service Account" role.

    3. Try to change a domain account which is a member of the Build Agent Service Accounts group and belongs to "Agent Pool Service Account" role, to see whether the agent would work or not.
