 Restart the service and your new buildslaves will connect.
 
+=== Disabling JIT dialogs on the buildslave ===
+
+If you are running tests that occasionally fail with exceptions on the buildslave, you will want to disable the Just-In-Time (JIT) debugger that is configured with Visual Studio. When an unhandled exception occurs, the JIT will launch a dialog that will wait for user confirmation, effectively halting your build.
+
+Follow these steps to disable the JIT:
+
+ 1.   Run regedit (as Administrator)
+ 2.  DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionAeDebugDebugger
+ 3.  DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoft.NETFrameworkDbgManagedDebugger
+ 4.  SET HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoft.NETFrameworkDbgJITDebugLaunchSetting to 0x1 (right click value, select Modify, hexadecimal, 1), ok
+ 5.  If you are running a 64 bit version of windows DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionAeDebugDebugger
+ 6.  If you are running a 64 bit version of windows DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoft.NETFrameworkDbgManagedDebugger
+ 7.  Reboot
+
+These settings are clarified at the following two sites. It should be noted that the registry changes from BOTH sites must be done.
