Hi, renaming the server solved the issue and the agent installed successfully. Thank you for your help. Perhaps a future feature would be to have a check in the PS script to validate machine name? |
Thank you but that's not it. I noticed that the appveyor account gets locked out and I can't even login via RDP. I wonder if this is somehow caused by renaming the server to solve the previous problem. The event log isnt much helpful. I will rebuild the VM from scratch using a different name. Thank you for your time. |
Try using a different account - it's doesn't make any difference what account is used for Host Agent service. It just needs to have enough permissions. |
Hi, didn't work, the new user is getting locked out too and the service does not start. I have rebuilt the VM with a correct name to start with and everything is OK now. Thank you kindly for your help and guidance. |
