Download Latest Version TFC to LCS Dev VM - PU37

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Stefan Wojtas 550

Hello,

we are some developer with our own Dev Boxes on Hyper-V. After Code Changes we commit the code to our LCS Build Server.

We have an other DEV VM on LCS at our Customer Project which is also connect to Source Control.

Actual we connect every moring via RDP to this Environment and manually download the latest Code Version, do a model Build and synchronize Database.

Now I want to implement an automatic process.

For Build the Model I found this entry and it works for me:

https://community.dynamics.com/365/financeandoperations/f/dynamics-365-for-finance-and-operations-forum/380566/how-to-build-the-d365fo-model-using-powershell-script

My problem is to get the latest Version of Source Code from Source Control.

Some Time ago I found this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/tfvc/get-command?view=azure-devops But therefore I have to start the CMD as Admin and that doesn't work on LCS Hosted Environment.

Does anyone have an idea or an other working way for me?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Stefan,

    What is the purpose of this DEV VM in LCS? Is it a test environment or you use it for debugging as well? How you build code manually as it requires admin access as well?

    If it's a test system, you could apply the deployable package from the build process automatically.

    If it's a dev system, yes you might need Admin access to do what you described. You have admin access in Cloud hosted environments deployed from LCS. The only dev system where you don't have admin access is the Microsoft managed Tier 1, which is anyway not very suitable for development. And it's much more expensive than a Cloud hosted system. In this case I recommend you to set up Cloud hosted dev systems in your own Azure subscription.

    Hello,

    we use this Envorinment for debugging. We have acces to Visual Studio and can manually download the Code.

    The VM is an Microsoft managed Tier1 Environment.

    Then the recommendation is clear - use a Cloud hosted system where you have full admin privileges and can set up the required automations.
