VSTS Token Expire on LCS
From last week, LCS was showing popup to me to change VSTS access token.. I was ignoring the prompt message and was focus with my daily task..
When ever popup prompt to me i Just click No.
After sometime due to some technical reason I have to de-allocate my Build machine. When de-allocation process complete. I face a strange behavior that configure button of instance was grayed.
After spending hours of hours over internet, I believe that issue cause because of VSTS Access token expire... So i decide to Generate token again from VSTS..
following are the simple steps to generate token over lcs.
First login on VSTS project you can find the Project URL on LCS project setting.
Then click on Team services TAB.
Copy the URL address and paste over browser. then click on security icon.
Now click on add token from personal access token TAB.
Now fill the newly open form and click on generate
An access token will appear to you, please copy and save in notepad file for future reference. it will no longer available to you again.
Now go to project setting and click on Visual studio team services.
Click on change Button
Enter the personal access token
Now click on continue then next and then click on save...
Now go back to check your build machine configure button, it will be enable for you..
