How can Jenkins on Linux server to trigger PowerShell script on a window server?

[Lily Fu]

Hi,

 

I have a Jenkins server running on Redhat Linux server.

Wants to trigger a PowerShell script on a remote window’s server.

 

Can this be done?

 

Did some research, 

1.       Install PowerShellWebAccess on the windows’ server, a client (such as web brower) can have a PowerShell console

But, I don’t see how Jenkins to talk to this browser

2.       Have SSH session from Linux to window’s server

 

Has anyone done this before?

 

Thanks a lot.

Can't you just add the windows host as a jenkins slave and use a job
restricted to that slave that runs whatever command you need?

Thanks Les,

I am a junior on Jenkins. Have been hearing people talking about slave, but I was at at that level yet.

Thank you for pointing me the direction.
I will take a look of the slave configuration.

Thanks!

Hi Les and all,

 

I am following the instruction

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Step+by+step+guide+to+set+up+master+and+slave+machines

 

to setup a slave node on a window’s server, after I clicked Launch from the slave’s

browser (Jenkins url), I got:

 

Application Blocked by Security Settings:

Name: hudson.remoting.Launcher

Location: http://xxx.xxx.xx:8080  (master jenkin’s server)

Your security settings have blocked a self-signed application from running.

 

My questions: where should I look into this security setting?

Jenkin’s server? Firewall? Slave machine’s IE browser setting?  Jenken’s webserver?

 

Thanks a lot!

 

Lily

On the slave window’s server, I installed

 

java version 7 update 55 JRE

None of the above.

I think you need to go to control panel/java and either tune down the
security level or add your jenkins host as a site to allow. Depending
on your windows version it may also work to configure jenkins to
control the slave.

Thanks Daniel and Les,

For now, I configured in Java Control Panel to add jenkin's webserver url
as allowed site and it's working now.
