D365 F&O | Change DevOps Build Agent

When you are managing more than one Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations environment throught DevOps (alias VSTS) it is a good idea to seperate the build agents into different build agent pools.
Creating a new agentpool in DevOps is quite simple but how do we change the link between the VSTSAgent which is running on the D365 box and the agent pool.

First of all create an AccessToken within DevOps as shown below:

After that connect to the D365 F&O server and navigate to C:\DynamicsSDK. There you will find a file named SetupBuildAgent.ps1. Create a copy of this file and open it in your favorite editor. Here we need to change two parameters:
AgentPoolName = "YourAgentPoolName"
VSOAccessToken = "YourNewlyCreatedToken"


After that we need a PowerShell which is running in admin mode. Execute your SetupBuildAgentXYZ.ps1 file and provide the base URL of the DevOps project collection


Finally you can check the agent pools in DevOps and you'll see that the Agent is now part of the agentPool you defined.
