Wow this video went on too long, but there was some important context to give for newbies.

This video could be 60 seconds, but I tried to cover the complete context involving ADO agent installation. This is specifically for installing on a Windows OS.

We cover not only how to install the agent, but what details you need to fill out the prompts.

We also cover how to create a Personal Access Token (PAT).

We cover how to create a new agent pool.

We cover how to delete an agent and agent pool. We also cover how to run sc delete to completey delete a service/agent reference in a vm or self hosted.

This video is for the purpose of installing a self hosted agent, not a vmss or virtual machine scale set. That will be another video.

We also cover how to access services.msc and change the log on as user for the service.

Some keywords to ignore...
