Special measures for running Windows 10 slaves via DCOM?

[David Aldrich]

Hi

 

Jenkins wiki page:

 

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Windows+slaves+fail+to+start+via+DCOM

 

describes how to fix ‘Windows slaves fail to start via DCOM’ and really just refers to Windows 7 and Windows 2008 Jenkins slaves.

 

Are the same fixes applicable to Windows 10 slaves?

 

Best regards

 

David

Just as an FYI, I don't think that the DCOM slaves stuff has received much love in recent years. I would recommend using the JNLP method for setting up slaves on Windows. The DCOM method provided me with nothing but pain and anguish every time I tried to use it.

Yes, we have also experienced lots of pain from that route and I would be only too pleased to drop it!

 

Please can you give me a pointer to the JNLP method?

Thanks for the link. I think it is not going to be straight forward because we have a reverse proxy on our network.  I may have to configure the tunnelling option.

Hi Slide

 

Our Jenkins master is behind a reverse proxy so I think I need to specify the “
Tunnel connection through” parameter of JNLP.  I can’t find a value that works.

 

Do you have to specify this parameter in your environment?

 

Best regards

Hi David,

I am not behind a proxy, so I don't have to specify that parameter.

Thanks,

Alex
