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