Hi,

if the case is jenkins hosted on linux machine & has to deploy in windows machine. [adding as slave/node is ruled out]

what are other options available in jenkins and which can be better & robust.

Thankyou

What about using Ansible WinRM? for more info
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/windows.html

Then Jenkins running on Linux just needs ansible installed.

It depends on the version of Windows, but many modern versions of Windows (Windows 10, Windows Server 2016/2019) have the capability of having a native SSH service installed (other versions can use cygwin and so can these). This is a very viable way to deploy things to a system.
