Christofer Dutz commented on INFRA-11706:
-----------------------------------------

Ok ... I adjusted the w2012 build to mach changes in the normal one ... the build did succeed :-)
Thanks for that. Should I now migrate all jobs to the w2012 machine?

> 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.
