Hi Chris

I tried with 0.12.7 and it is still the same - is there a limit on 1 account for an agent? It seems to work if I remove all agents and run the agent setup again.

from vso-agent.

What is the exact error message

The error message is this exact message:

Error starting the agent
Failed Request: Bad Request(400) - https://[masked].visualstudio.com/_apis/distributedtask/pools/1/agents

I see now that there is a limit on 1 private agent in the free version - the error message is a little better on Windows :-)

CJ the xplat agent does not appear to be returning the appropriate error message to the user.

The error message is this exact message:

and it seems clear to me now that it happens if I try to set up more than 1 agent using the same user account/alternate credentials. Was not aware that this was not possible.

You are not receiving the correct error message for some.reason. Each account gets a free private agent and a free hosted agent. You have the option to purchase more.
