Give Azure Build Agent Write Permission to VM Folder

247 views Asked by At

I have two azure entities I'm trying to connect, a build agent running my nuget deployments and a VM (Windows Server 2012 R2) on which I'm trying to set up symbol hosting using SymStore.

From this page I am told to Grant full control permission to the build agent service account. How do I go about doing this? In the Publish Symbols build step, I can enter a URL to store the symbols, but I have no way of logging the build agent into the VM as the user that I've given full control permission to.

This setup is actually not possible; from the SymSrv docs: writes to an http-based symbol store are not possible.

It appears that the SymStore has to be on the same machine as the Azure build agent to give it full control permission. I happened to discover that NuGet will let me publish .pdbs, so I'm going to try that route instead.
