Copy files from Jenkins server (Linux) to Windows 2003 Share location

I am trying to connect to a Windows 2003 server from Jenkins box (Linux).
Adding a Jenkins slave is kind of difficult as I am struggling to install Java version to work with the agent. I am also not able to get the exact steps to install ssh server for windows which might solve my problem.
Thanks in advance.

Xamarin.IOs Error: Inconsistency between the local app and the remote build

I have a Xamarin.IOs project which I code in Visual Studio 2017 for Windows and debug on a real device connecting to a Mac Build Host via the Pair to Mac tool of Visual Studio.
But I get this error when I try to run my Xamarin.IOs application,
An inconsistency between the local app and the remote build has been detected for <App Name>. Please rebuild the application and try again. Check the logs for more details
Neither of these solved the problem,
Rebuilding the application and running again
Clean the project, build it and running again
Clean the project, deleting the bin and obj folders, build it and running again
When this error occurs, you have to simply disconnect your Mac Build Host and then reconnect to that Mac Build Host. Then just try to run the application on the device, it would work!
Image Guide
A: Open Pair to Mac window to connect to a Mac Build Host
B: The connected Mac Build Host
C: Right click and Disconnect this Mac Build Host, then connect to it again
Now if you run the application it would deploy to the device without any issues.

Docker for Windows Server 2016 requires update KB3176936

I want to install Docker on a physical Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Evaluation (Version 14393). I tried following the instructions from Quick Start Windows Server but installation fails:
Error message
The docker installer requires update KB3176936, which I installed then. Even after rebooting, the error message persists and I can't install docker.
I've enabled the Container feature and Hyper-V in Windows Feature Selection.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've could sucessfully setup docker on Windows 10.
You need to do a full Windows Update. I actually have a PR to add this step to the docs.
Run sconfig, then choose option 6 and then A and A to install all updates. This works for Server 2016 in no-desktop installs as well as with the UI.

Mupx setup hangs on Installing Docker

The installer hangs when I use mupx setup on the first thing in the TaskList, Installing Docker. I can't get the DEBUG=* mupx setup to work because DEBUG is not recognized as an internal or external command.
Server is through Linode, and the OS is Ubuntu 16.04. I'm running Windows 8.1. My project works fine on my end but I can't figure out mupx enough to get it over. Docker is working fine on my computer as well as on my server from what I can tell.
How can I get the DEBUG to work (either a setting or a download)? Or is this a common issue someone can walk me through?
Did you run "mupx setup" first? That will install Docker and setup a new container on the remote server you entered into your local mup.json file

Linux Hudson, Windows build

I have Hudson installed on Linux. Compiling and testing Linux releases works fine. But I would like to build and test also Windows releases using Visual Studio. I already have .bat script that runs building, but I don't know how can I connect it to Hudson.
Why not just install Hudson on a Windows machine and have it build the same code set?
You should use the Slave launchers, for example:
ssh slaves
copy to slave
You may need to install an ssh server on your windows computer.
