Issue Description

I am trying to build angular cli 6.0 code using ng build --prod

Error logs

When attempting this command :

2018-06-21T06:37:53.3985197Z [command]C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /D /S /C ""C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd" run build-prod"

2018-06-21T06:37:55.0604749Z The official Node.js version that is supported is 8.9 and greater.

I then tried to upgrade npm on the agent i get insufficient rights.

Worked using Hosted 2017 build agent queue, thanks.

You can also use the Node Tool Installer task to install any version you want.
