TF259641: To use the environment, you must install a compatible test agent in all machines of the environment. Click 'Install Agents' to complete this task.

On a small domain test system that is connected to a production domain, see below for the network architecture, creating a new test environment with workgroup computers may not deploy the VS Test Agent 2012 properly.

The reason automatic deploy is not working is that the Test Agent deployed on the workgroup machines will try to contact the Test Controller located on another domain (DOMAIN1) but will not resolve as the Test Agents DNS server entries are configured from a DCHP connected to production domain.

You will typically get the following error message.

TF259641: To use the environment, you must install a compatible test agent in all machines of the environment. Click 'Install Agents' to complete this task.

Workaround:

In the workgroup machines, modify the IP (v4) Properties to point DNS of DOMAIN1.

TF259137: The following account does not have sufficient permissions to complete the operation: domain\user. The following permissions are needed to perform this operation: Create.

When importing virtual machine in MTM Lab Center you may encounter error message below:

TF259137: The following account does not have sufficient permissions to complete the operation: domain\user. The following permissions are needed to perform this operation: Create.

From what I know there is no UI that would allow the TFS admin to grant the necessary privileges related to library management. To fix this, do:

1. Open a console where tfslabconfig.exe. In VS 2013 with MTM installed, it is located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE.
2. Run the following command:

TfsLabConfig Permissions /collection:http://[TFSMachineName]:8080/TFS/DefaultCollection /user:domain\user /allow:create,Read,ManageLocation,Write,edit,delete,start,stop,ManagePermissions,ManageChildPermissions,Pause,ManageSnapshots

Of course you have to replace [TFSMachineName] with the name of your TFS Server and this has to be run by user with TFS admin rights. You also have to change DefaultCollection and domain\user.
