Hi For Jenkins Windows Slaves, this link:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Windows+slaves+fail+to+start+via+DCOM#WindowsslavesfailtostartviaDCOM-Firewall states that a Windows firewall exception may be needed for: C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe This has worked fine for us until today when we upgraded from Oracle's Java 1.7 to 1.8. It seems that the Java paths have now changed and javaw.exe is now specified by Oracle as a symlink: "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaw.exe" Would the correct solution now be to specify the firewall exception as a symlink, and to specify that symlink as the "Path to java executable" in the slave's configuration page in Jenkins?
