Agent-Side Checkout
Agent-Side checkout is only supported on Windows agent machine (for Linux and Mac agent you may use server-side checkout). It is also required to have Team Explorer installed on agent machine.
TeamCity automatically creates TFS workspace for each Build Checkout Directory used. The workspace is created on behalf of user account that is specified in the VCS root settings.
Created TFS workspaces are automatically removed after a two-week idle time.
TFS does not allow to have several workspaces on a machine mapped to the same directory. TeamCity TFS agent-side checkout may attempt to remove intersecting workspaces in order to create new workspace that matches specified VCS root and checkout rules. Note, it is unable to remove workspaces created by another user.
