I found the answer to this question... https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Distributed+builds
For Windows slaves, Jenkins can use the remote management facility built into Windows 2000 or later (WMI+DCOM, to be more specific.) In this set up, you'll supply the username and the password of the user who has the administrative access to the system, and Jenkins will use that remotely create a Windows service and remotely start/stop them. This is the most convenient set up on Windows, but does not allow you to run programs that require display interaction (such as GUI tests). Note : Unlike other Node's configuration type, the Node's name is very important as it is taken as the node's address where to create the service ! Bob -----Original Message----- From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Bob Bick Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 3:15 PM To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Job displays a temp status window Hi, Our Maven build job displays a temporary status window (requires no user interaction). The job runs on a Microsoft Windows Jenkins slave node that starts as a Windows Service. The job fails at the point where the temporary status window is supposed to be displayed. Hence, I believe that the build is failing because the temporary status window can't be displayed. Q. Is there a way to run a Jenkins slave node so it can display windows that pop up as part of a job run?
