Three identical build server, same build script: "Unable to determine workspace" error only on one

Question

We implemented three identical build servers and when we run the same script it fails on one of them with the following error:

Error: Unable to determine the workspace. You may be able to correct this by running 'tf workspaces /collection:TeamProjectCollectionUrl'.

The issue is identical to this one, so we probably need to add the tf workfold /map command:

FInalBuilder 7 and TFS2010 - Get Latest

Now the question is, if we need to add the command above, how it can run correctly many times on the other two build servers?

[Team Foundation Check Out [ C:\BuildAgent\work\27a5ec307fc309bf\Core\Geometry\Source ]]
             Path to Executable: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\TeamExplorer\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\TF.exe
             Workspace Directory: C:\BuildAgent\work\27a5ec307fc309bf\Core\Geometry\Source
             Command line: checkout /lock:none "Properties\assemblyInfo.cs"
             Error: Unable to determine the workspace. You may be able to correct this by running 'tf workspaces /collection:TeamProjectCollectionUrl'.
             Failed!

The problem was a ghost workspace, I was able to delete it using Attrice Sidekick for TFS and the instructions found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/37284964/261010
