TFS 2012 Build Issue: Issue with TFS 2012 builds services wherein the build controller cannot reach the build agents to perform the build and hence the build continues to run on the controller forever without actual execution on the build agent.

Solution:

Step 1: Verify the following Services in the Build system are running or not

1. Visual Studio Team Foundation Build Service Host 2012
   1. Remote Access Connection Manager

i.      Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol Service

B. Telephony

i.      Plug and Play

ii.      Remote Procedure Call

Step 2: Verify whether the service account is having “Update build information” permission or not
