Run WebTest in vNext build via PS-Remoting on Windows 10 server got "System.Data.Entity.Core.ProviderIncompatibleException"

In TFS vNext build I deploy serveral webtests via PS-Remoting to one Windows 10 test agent and run all webtests. It does not not stable because sometimes I get an error with "System.Data.Entity.Core.ProviderIncompatibleException" (s.below)

Visual Studio 2015 has be installed on the server. The same tests under the sam condition run very well on Windows 7 test agent.

What is the reason and how could I fix this? Many thanks!

Are you installed the same version of VS on Windows 7 test agent? If not, you can try to remove VS from WIN10 and install that version same as WIN7, then try it again.

If the issue still exist, please check the Entity Framework version. Seems related to Entity Framework, see this article for more info, you can try using EFPowerTools to update Nuget EF accordingly.

Please reference below threads:

• EntityFramework error: The provider did not return a ProviderManifest instance
• How to use Entity Framework Power Tools in Visual Studio 2015?
