Jenkins Linux Master + Windows Build agent?

cn flag

Will a Jenkins Linux master work with a Windows build agent? Does anyone know if this set up can be achieved and is supported? Just looking for a proof of concept and that this can work so I can proceed with getting this set up. Thanks.

Yes, this is very common configuration and well documented on the Jenkins site. Just install the WMI Windows Agents (aka windows-slaves). We've been running this from Jenkins 1.408.1 / 2013 to latest (2.289.2), w / VM servers from W2K8 to W2K16.

We used to launch via JNLP but switched to launch via DCOM and had no issues as it's easier manage (same as ssh / linux agents).

There are now also Docker images available.

Thanks for your reply. Where is this set up documented on Jenkins site? I am searching but can't seem to find it.

And how do you launch via DCOM? I'm sorry, but you throw out a lot of technologies but don't provide any guides or documentation. Could you at least point me in the right direction?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
