Chris Lambertus resolved INFRA-11706.
-------------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed

Yes, please feel free to move your builds to windows-2012-1. I'd love to get some more traffic on it and make sure we get all the bugs worked out before cloning it to windows-2012-2. If you run into any issues, please create a new jira ticket. Thanks!

> It seems that when running the Jenkins agent as a windows service, builds are not able to start and communicate with the created GUI application. In our case our tests start the FlashPlayer for unit tests. Even if it's possible to execute the command manually on the machine, doing this in an automated was, does not seem to work. I keep on getting timeouts. 
> We had this problem on our project-private Jenkins and it seems the only option the guys came up with was to auto-login to the Jenkins account and start the agent using Java Webstart.
> If we want to come back to the ASF infra machines, we need to run the GUI tests.
