Hi Team, We are already having Jenkins 2.176 installed on a Linux RHEL 7 server. We need to configure Jenkins to publish dotnet and sharepoint applications. Please let me know if this is possible to do and if yes, kindly provide me a reference guide article for the same. ---

All of my MSBuild configuration to date has been on Windows. However, the `dotnet` command you need can be called from any shell step in Jenkins. I would probably go with pre-installing dotnet on your agent(s) and calling it from a job. Do note, 2.176 is really, really, really old. ---

Thanks all for the comments. Definitely we can upgrade Jenkins and Upgrade RHEL OS to 8. But I want a documentation on how to configure MSBuild for Jenkins. Kindly provide me if it is available. ---

I would probably go with pre-installing dotnet on your agent(s) and calling it from a job. Install the tools that you need on the agent computers and call those tools from an `sh` step. ---

I tried giving dotnet build /xyz.sln but the Jenkins failed and said dotnet command is not recognized. But I have installed dotnet sdk in the Jenkins linux server and if I try the same command inside the Linux box it works but from Jenkins its not working. ---

Hi, This problem sounds like a case of differences between environments. Often caused by a different user, or even a non desktop environment running your agent vs your login session. I would recommend running a tool to export your environmental variables (`set` in windows, `export` or `printenv` in linux) in both your job and your “command prompt” to see whats different. Often its something like `HOME` is set different. Or `PATH` has changed since its managed by jenkins agent settings. Or even a license key is missing. Its usually a good first step.
