Hello Samba Siva You can configure the output folder where your output of the build can automatically dump in TFS Build definition. once you have this place as a outcome of build you can trigger either your deployment script or you can write custom activity which in turn copy the output the desired servers based on the configuration. Hope this will provide you basic high level guidelines to proceed further. Feel free to write if you need more information on this. Please don't forget to mark as answer if this helps.
