Naga Venkatesh Gowru commented on JENKINS-12820:
------------------------------------------------
We have solved the issue. To configure Windows 7 PC as Slave in jenkins,
for the first time it needs to be connected to master through the launch method
"Launch slave agents via java web start" after that if it is necessary we can
reconfigure the connection through launch method "Windows slave as a Windows
Service".
Step by Step procedure to configure Windows 7 as Slave:
=======================================================
In Master PC:
1.Open jenkins home page in browser, Manage Jenkins->Configure System
2.Set Jenkins URL as "http://Master_PC_name:8080/";
3.Create a new node(Slave node)
4.Configure the launch method as ""Lauch slave agents via java web start". Save
the configuration
In Slave PC:
1.Open the URL "http://Master_PC_name:8080/ " through a browser in Slave PC.
2.Go to the newly created slave node, Click on launch button which is available
there
3.It will connect slave to master PC. A pop up window will be visible with a
message as "Connected".
Now a Master Slave connection has established, if slave needs to be connected
through the launch method "Windows slave as a Windows Service", then continue
from the above step 3. In that pop up window click File-> Install as Windows
Service. Now jenkins service has installed as windows service. Now in Master PC
reconfigure launch method as "Windows slave as a Windows Service" and give
log in credentials. here after connection will be through windows service
