On Jenkins how can you detect if a server is Windows vs. Linux?

On Jenkins I'm using the Conditional BuildStep Plugin. Is there a way to have it run some build steps depending on whether or not the slave node it's running on is Windows vs. Linux?

You can use isUnix() function available in jenkins for identifying the OS type.

So you can use something like below inside your jenkinsfile under script block:-

 if (isUnix()) {
    sh 'ls -la'
} else {
    bat 'dir'
}

To run commands only if the current server is Windows, use the Conditional BuildStep Plugin to check:

Strings match:
 String 1: ${ENV,var="OS"}
 String 2: Windows_NT

And to run commands only if the current server is Linux, check:

Strings match:
 String 1: ${ENV,var="OS"}
 String 2:

(Leaving String 2 blank.)
