Automatically Update Azure DevOps App Tier Servers with Latest Pipelines Agents

Posted on July 21, 2022 | 1 minute read

Some enterprise customers run their Azure DevOps Server behind a secured corporate Web Proxy. At times this can make it challenging for Pipelines agents to be able to download the latest Agent versions. Fortunately, Azure DevOps Server has a mechanism built in to cache Agent Installs locally on the App Tier Servers.

Please find below a script that can be used to automatically download the latest Pipelines Agent zips to your App Tier servers. You can put this in fact on a nightly Windows Scheduled Task to ensure your App Tier servers are providing agents across your enterprise with an opportunity to download the latest agent updates.
