windows powershell jenkins windows-server-2019

Powershell call works on server but returns error through jenkins

We recently got some new Windows Server 2019 machines and I want to add them to our Jenkins setup. The problem is: executing any external program causes an error. docker login, git status, java -version all give an error like this

[TestPowershell] $ powershell.exe -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy ByPass "& 'C:\Users\XXX~1\AppData\Local\Temp\3\jenkins1416755497082623783.ps1'"

Tried it on the server itself, works fine. All the setup is the same as our 2016 servers, which dont present this issue

EDIT: I setup a vanilla master on VM 2019 and it works without this error, still presents the error with a 2016 master.

Solution

For some reason, it seems that this is related to dotnet 4.8. Windows 2019 1809 ships with 4.7 which presents this strange error, not only does it happen on java -version, but git clone , npm install and ng build to name a few also cause the same error. Installing dotnet framework 4.8 fixes it.. in case anyone is having the same issue we were..
