Windows slave: Unable to produce a script file

[jmohre]

Hi,

 

I get an error when I try to execute a job on a windows slave.

I added the error log below.

I seems that depending on how I start the windows salve – the error occurs or not.

 

I want to start the slave via execution command on the master, like this ssh -v mcetestuser@20-MCE-UT2 javaw -jar C:/JenkinsSlave/slave.jar

This worked before on other slave PCs, but I have no idea why not on this one.

The slave is start but when executing a job I get an error that the script file can not be created.

If I start the slave via Web Start by executing the following command on the slave PC

“java -jar slave.jar -jnlpUrl http://MyPI:Port/computer/20-MCE-UT2/slave-agent.jnlp -secret 499086c90bbea551feeb64913a25946832e84329203be2090e67b4d19a454344” I have no problems.

The same and most interesting thing happens if put this command in batch.

If I log in with ssh to slave PC and call that batch file everything works (slave connected and job succeeded), but

if I call this batch script direct with the ssh command, like ssh use@testPC batchFile.bat only the slave is connected but the job 

failed with same error(see below).

Hope someone has ideas or tips to solve that issue.

Thanks

Jörg

I found the problem by myself.
It was indeed wrong access rights to C:\╗Windows.
I was not able to create files in that directory - after disablig UAC by the following
it works.

Press keys “Windows Key + R”, type regedit
Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableLUA
Update the EnableLUA value to 0 (turn if off)
Restart Windows.
