Upgrading TFS 2013 Build Service to TFS 2015 RC
I updated our IDE to TFS 2015 RC from TFS 2013 Update 4. It was very good. Now I want to turn to the build environment.
What is the process for upgrading an existing build controller / agents to TFS 2015 RC? Ideally, I would like the existing machines to handle both XAML builds and build.vnext.
EDIT: According to the docs, it looks like the existing build infrastructure will not be updated. In general, I would just like to be able to manage this agent service through the admin console. As well as at the application level.

TFS 2015 has no concept of a build controller and supports vnext builds as you can imagine. Therefore, you need to configure the TFS 2013 Build Controller and TFS 2013 Build Agents to continue using the Xaml build environment. This will help you refer to the Xaml build issue. And you can follow the following msdn article for installing and configuring the new vnext builds in your environment:
