Our AzureDevOps Server was running on a “new” Windows Server 2019 and everything was still kind of newish - so we just needed to update the AzureDevOps Server app.
Update process
The actual update was really easy, but we had some issues after the installation.
Steps:
Aftermath
We had some issues with our Build Agents - they couldn’t connect to the AzureDevOps Server:
TF400813: Resource not available for anonymous access
As a first “workaround” (and a nice enhancement) we switched from HTTP to HTTPS internally, but this didn’t solved the problem.
The real reason was, that our “Azure DevOps Service User” didn’t had the required write permissions for this folder:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
The connection issue went away, but now we introduced another problem: Our SSL Certificate was “self signed” (from our Domain Controller), so we need to register the agents like this:
The update itself was easy, but it took us some hours to configure our Build Agents. After the initial hiccup it went smooth from there - no issues and we are ready for the next update, which is already released.
