I have just installed Azure DevOPs Server 2019 and am running Server Configuration Wizard.

I am getting error "TF255115: The following service did not start: TfsJobAgent".

Here is what I see in the event log:

Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.3.9600.19671, time stamp: 0x5e673d0b
Exception code: 0xe0434352

I have found two posts regarding error TF255115:

  1. https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/75c370fe-7951-44e9-85be-c7d2378f7beb/cannot-start-service-tfsjobagent-on-computer-ltcomputernamegt?forum=tfssetup

This post recommends to check whether USERS group has Read and Execute permissions for file TFSJobAgent.exe. I have checked it and indeed it has.

This post recommends to check whether I have permissions to run Visual Studio Team Foundation Background Job Agent service. However, I don't find such a service. Since the above post was written, 8 years ago, TFS was renamed to Azure, so I looked also for Azure-related services, but found nothing.

Please assist!

Since you are using Azure DevOps Server 2019. Visual Studio Team Foundation Background Job Agent service has renamed to Azure DevOps Server Background Job Agent.

According to the error info, you need to make sure this service is running in your service list of your server.

  • There is no such service, Azure DevOps Server Background Job Agent, in the service list. – Alex Karnovsky Apr 22 '20 at 07:30

    @AlexKarnovsky **There should be**. If so, since you have just installed Azure DevOps Server 2019. I am afraid, you may not installed correctly. Please try to uninstall and re-install your entire Azure DevOps Server or application tier. Which may do the trick. – PatrickLu-MSFT Apr 22 '20 at 08:08
  • I reinstalled the Azure DevOps Server 2019, and now the Configuration Wizard completed successfully. Thank you very much! – Alex Karnovsky Apr 22 '20 at 16:10
