      We are currently running Jenkins agents in VirtualBox VMs on the master. We are investigating running agents on Windows Sandbox for a built-in lite VM that allows GUI testing.

      I've tried "Launch agent via execution of a command on the master", but this appears to only work when that commands results in stdin/stdout of the agent being connected. This isn't possible with Windows Sandbox unless we got some sort of hacky reverse shell working somehow.

      We'd like Jenkins to run a command to start the VM/Sandbox then connect back via JNLP or WebSockets, but as far as I can tell these two launch methods are mutually exclusive.
