Generic "JavaScript error" when trying to run Protractor with Internet Explorer 11 on a Jenkins Slave (Windows Server 2016)

[wOOx92]

Hi there!

I'm getting a generic "JavaScript error" when trying to run Protractor with Internet Explorer (11) on a Jenkins Slave with Windows Server 2016.

When I try to run the tests locally via remote desktop connection on the Windows Server 2016 everything is fine and no error appears. But if I try to run them via Jenkins (Windows Server is attached as Slave to the Jenkins Master), the following error appears. If I let Jenkins run the tests with Chrome and Firefox, everything is fine too, only Internet Explorer 11 fails.

I think there is something wrong with the IEDriverServer.exe or somehow the JavaScript fails when Jenkins try to execute it in IE11.

Is it possible, that this issue relates to:

The IE on the Jenkins Slave has the following settings:
