title: What is the default number of build agents that can run on a build service when the build service is installed on its own dedicated server?
body: <p>I am attending a competition where I am supposed to answer a couple of engineering and technical related questions. I hope that some of you guys could help me with this one.</p>
  
  <p>I've already searched the web for a couple of hours, but I can't seem to make out the difference in the names used.
  I saw this article <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd793166.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd793166.aspx</a> on msdn, but I still can't make out the answer.</p>
  
  <p><strong>The question is:</strong></p>
  
  <p>In Team Fitting Solutions we use Team Foundation Server 2010 to manage and build our C# and C++ code. Team Foundation Server is able to build the code using  a number of build agents and build services. 
  What is the default number of build agents that can run on a build service when the build service is installed on its own dedicated server?</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>One build agent per build service</li>
  <li>The default number of build agents is defined by the number of processor cores on the server hosting the build service</li>
  <li>None, because a build agent cannot run on a server hosting the build service; it needs its own dedicated server</li>
  </ol>
