Jenkins Tutorial For Beginners 17 - Launch agent via Java Web Start (Windows Slave)

In this video I am going to show you How to create a Windows Slave and Launch agent via Java Web Start. To enable 'Launch agent via Java Web Start' option on jenkins You have to enable the TCP port of JNLP agents to enable this option for slaves. Enabling Java Web Start Option to configure Slave Node in Jenkins is easy.

Manage Jenkins - Configure Global Security - TCP port for JNLP agents - Random

We can also install Jenkins Windows slave agent as a service.

Hi.. Thanks for explanation.. But one issue, if I close the CMD on agent server, the agent get disconnected.
So after server re-boot we needs to connect again, or if any one close the CMD prompt we are facing issue.
How we can run the agent permanently in windows?

[ahmedhussein]

But which connection method is better (e.g. performance, security, ... etc.), Is it via SSH or Java
Web Start ?

[coolajayrocks]

master and slave both are on the same machine ? you haven't provided host name while creating node ? what if my slave node is in another machine ?

How you create the windows OS, it is a virtual machine of your HD ?

Hi, Thanks for the video. Configuration of a windows node in Jenkins is well explained and demonstrated in this video.
However, I need your help in fixing the issues I am facing while launching my windows agent. My environment setup is as follows:
1. Jenkins Master - AWS Linux EC2 instance - Jenkins Bitnami AMI
2. Windows Agent - AWS Windows server 2019 instance
3. Windows Agent - my local machine

I have configured the Windows agent as demonstrated in the video but getting following error at the last step when executing the Java command.
