TF270015 MSTest.exe returned an unexpected exit code when publishing results of test run

Question

Hello, I have a problem only with one of my three build servers.
The build log is the follow:
Publishing results of test run tfsbuild@HXCI07 2013-01-29 07:41:05_Any CPU_Release to
http://server.domain.com:8080/tfs/Rivendell...
.Value does not fall within the expected range.
Publish failed or canceled.
00:00
Handle MSTest Exception
 TF270015: 'MSTest.exe' returned an unexpected exit code. Expected '0'; actual '1'.
It's very strange because I have 3 build server with the same configuration and only this has the problem with publishing test results.
My server: TFS 2010 SP1
Can somebody help me?
Thanks,
EriC#

Hi Eric, 
Thanks for your reply.
If you can run the same builds on another Build Service without this error, it seems that this issue relate to your current Build Service. So you can try to restart this Build Service(in TFS Admin Console), then compare if there’s
some specific difference between the current build agent machine and another build agent machine(configured in another Build Service).
To clean the TFS 2010 Cache and restart TFS Server, please refer to the following steps(delete the content of the folder only, not the cache folder itself):
Clean the Cache folder on client computer. The folder path is: C:\Users\username(Team Explorer user name)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\3.0\Cache. (os: Windows Server 2008 R2)
Clean the Cache folder on Server machine. The folder path is:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Team Foundation\Web Access\Cache_v10.0.
(os: Windows Server 2008 R2)
After cleaned, on Server machine, click
Start and select Run… to open the dialog box, then input
iisreset.exe and click OK, wait it run completely.
