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. – synth45 Aug 03 '21 at 22:15
  • 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? – synth45 Aug 04 '21 at 00:08
