Hello all,

I'd like your advice on dynamically created Windows instance (through the 
"Cloud VSphere Plugin" but whatever). It's not directly Jenkins-related but 
maybe you have advice on tool/plugins to use with Jenkins.

How can we then control the newly instanciated Windows to deploy and run 
software onto it ?
(Let's call "master Jenkins" the Jenkins instance that has run the "Cloud 
VSphere Plugin").


   - pre configured Jenkins Slave.

base Windows image would contains a Jenkins Slave that connects on startup 
to the "master Jenkins".
Is there a problem ? Limited to one slave ? We'd like to have dynamic slave 
creation.

   - use an automation tool/server directly installed in the base image 
   (Ansible ? Chef ? Puppet ?)


   - connect through powershell remoting capabilities (WinRM ?) ? The 
   baseImage would have to be pre-configured to allow WinRM connections.


It seems to me that WinRM is the way to go, but do you have any advice to 
remote control dynamically created Windows boxes ?

One last note: the goal is in the end to run the installation and 
auto-tests of *graphical* (as in non-headless) software.

Regards,
Francois
