Hi all
Yesterday Microsoft released the PEAP version of 10.0.21 and on the new VM images they have decided to update a whole lot of stuff (Yay!!).
The new VMs are based on Windows Server 2019, SQL Server 2019 and Visual Server 2019 which means that your existing pipelines in Azure Devops will not work any more if you do not do some minor changes. I basically made some adjustments to this article by Joris de Gruyter and added a final step to mitigate a SQL server issue
- In the Build Solution change MSBuild Version to MSBuild 16.0
- In the Database Sync step change MSBuild Verson to MSBuild 16.0
- In the Execute Tests step change Test Platform version till Visual Studio 2019
- In the script “C:\DynamicsSDK\DeploySSRSReports.ps1” on line 127, change
Restart-Service -Name “ReportServer” -Force
to
Restart-Service -Name “SQLServerReportingServices” -Force
That´s it... the SQL issue will most certanly be fixed in the released version of the VMs
