Q: 

Queuing two TFS builds in parallel ends with partial success

I have a TFS 2008 Build server set up and when I queue two or more builds at the same time (corresponding to different tfs projects), one of the builds (randomly) always ends with a partial success. The reason for the partial success is because non of the unit tests gets executed. Otherwise all projects are compiled without errors and assemblies are copied to the drops location I've defined.

I am using Ms Unit Test Framework and activate them in TFSBuild.proj by adding the following line:

<RunConfigFile>$(SolutionRoot)\trunk\LocalTestRun.testrunconfig</RunConfigFile>

If I run the builds sequentially they all work fine.

Has anyone encountered such behavior? Could it be a limitation of TFS Build that it cannot execute unit tests in parallel?
