If you chose "Let Hudson control this Windows slave as a Windows service" for connecting to slave, you may get an error message like this:

If so, check the following settings on Windows:

Local "Administrator" group membership

Make sure that the user name you have entered is a member of the local "Administrators" group. In the default Windows installation, this group membership is required for Hudson to remotely copy files and install a service.

Firewall

By default, Windows Firewall prevents the TCP connections necessary to make this mechanism work. The firewall on the slave must allow the following exceptions (see List of TCP&UDP port numbers):

  • TCP Port 135 (DCE/RPC Locator service)
  • TCP Port 139 (NetBIOS Session Service)
  • TCP Port 445 (Windows shares)
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllhost.exe (dllhost.exe seems to use a random port number)
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe (Hudson also uses a random port number)
  • File and Printer sharing (TCP 139, TCP 445, UDP 137, UDP 138 (possibly only a subset of these is required))

The easiest way to track down firewall issues is to use tcpdump. Just run the following command on the Hudson server, which is trying to connect to the slave:

Linux/UNIX:

tcpdump -n -i <IF> -s 1500 port not 22 and host <HOST-IP>

<IF>       the network interface name, e.g. eth1
<HOST-IP>  the IP address of the slave

Ports 139 and 445

When the Ports 139 (NetBIOS Session Service) and 445 (Windows Shares) are not available, the following error message appears:

Local Security Settings

  1. Start the control panel, go to "Administrative Tools", then "Local Security Policy". This will open up the "local security settings" window
  2. Go to "Local Policies" > "Security Options" > "Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts." Change that to "Classic."
    This only applies to Windows computers that are not a part of a domain (reference)

Remote Registry Service

The Remote Registry service must be running in order to install the Hudson service, but it may be stopped on your computer.  This is especially true for Windows Vista, where it is disabled by default.  If it is not running, you may get an error like this:

If so, start the control panel, open "Administrative Tools," then "Services." Locate the Remote Registry service on the list, and click "Start this service."

.NET Framework

On Windows XP / 2003, if you see a message like this:

Then try upgrading .NET framework to ver 3.5SP1.

If all else fails...

Please file an issue about the problem with the stack trace, with information like Windows versions, so that we can take a look.
