We are migrating our Jenkins to Enterprise Jenkins.  Can I take the slave servers from our original Jenkins and hook them up to our new Enterprise Jenkins without too much trouble?

There isn't an open source "enterprise" version of Jenkins, so you'd
have to direct this question to the vendor in question — presumably
CloudBees.

How about in general (remove any mention of enterprise)?  If I were setting up a jenkins on a different server, does anyone know if there would be an issue with moving slaves from the old to the new?

I wouldn't envisage any issues unless the new server was behind some kind of firewall etc. and the new server has the right credentials to connect to the slave.

Richard.

I just did a slave move from one subnet into another, and am anticipating several more.  If you use ssh to talk to testbeds, artifact repositories, etc. then you will have to manually connect once with each of them as the Jenkins user so that they host pubkeys get correctly added into the known_hosts.  Other than the mechanics of that and having to alter the IP addresses of the known slaves, it just worked.
