Hi Edin,
I also got the similar scenario. We usually receive some installer file
from developers and which we require to copy on multiple *windows* servers
in different environments(ex: QA,STAGE etc) and run that installer using
PowerShell on each server.
1. I am running my Master Jenkins on Linux machine and installed a
Jenkins-Slave on one of the Windows QA server.
2. Now I am able to execute any PowerShell command from Jenkins to the the
windows slave machine.
Need to do:
1. Now I want to copy the file(which we receive from developers in a
ticket) to all of the Windows server and execute that in PowerShell.
May you please advise me how can I copy this file on all of the servers and
execute? I'd really appreciate any help on this.
Thanks and Regards.
Nitesh
