Bryan !.. thank you.. that was it..

I added condor-reuse-vm1 to the administrators group, and everything works.

I DIDN'T have to do that on any of my other xp nodes.. so.. maybe there is
something funky when you install condor on server 2003..

Thank you so much... WE tried all day to get that to work yesterday.. 

Thanks,

Oliver

Oliver,

I have a dedicated pool of 14 compute nodes all of which are running Windows
2003 Server. I had the same problem until I added the condor-reuse-vm? user
to the administrator's group.  After that, things worked fine.  If you look
in the starter log, you will see " Create_Process: CreateProcess failed,
errno=5" which is the WIN32 error "Access is denied."

I also experienced this problem on 1 out of 3 (approximately) of my Windows
XP machines.  I'm at a loss to explain why the default installation worked
on some machines and not others since every one of my workstations is built
from the same standard RIS deployment image.

I started with v.6.6.6 on my execution nodes.  Since then, the entire pool
was upgraded to v6.6.7.  These versions will work on Windows 2003 Server.

In my configuration, I created a domain user called CONDOR and specified
jobs to run using MYDOMAIN\CONDOR as a dedicated user.  I configured my
execution nodes to use MYDOMAIN\CONDOR in lieu of condor-reuse-vm?.  This
allows my jobs to access domain network shares at runtime.  Note that this
is also a potential security hole depending on the permissions you give to
CONDOR.  In my case, I had to make CONDOR an administrator on all the
compute nodes just to get things to run.  I was assured by folks at the
cs.wisc that this shouldn't be necessary but I just can't get it to run
otherwise.

I put up some more information

here you can find the log files.. maybe somebody can make something of it.

It is matching the Winnt52 correctly

Hello Oliver!

We are running a Windows 2003 Server in terminalserver mode to function as
central submit node in our pool. The condor version we installed is 6.6.6
and things are working fine without any additional settings. However, since
we don't use the server as a compute node, I can't tell if there is any
trouble with that. 

Can you submit jobs from the server to other node in the pool? 
If you try to submit to the server, what does "condor_q -analyse" produce?
If I am not completely wrong, Windows Server 2003 has "OpSys=WINNT52"
whereas a Windows XP system has "OpSys=WINNT51". So maybe no match has been
found. 

Bjoern

Betreff: [Condor-users] condor on windows server 2003

Hey guys..

I am having some extreme problems with getting condor to run on windows
server 2003.

I know its probably some sort of permissions or security policy thing, but I
just don`t know what.

I installed everything on windows xp pro, and a simple .bat file (creating
an empty text document on c:\) works just fine.

However, when I try to do the same thing on windows server 2003, same condor
config, same installation, the file never gets written to c:\.. neither do I
get a error log or output log for that .sub/bat file.

Any ideas ?.. anyone that has gotten condor to work on windows 2003 server
and knows its working ?.. what kind of security policies did you change, etc
?.. I really thought I have tried everything possible.. I just can't think
of anything... this is with condor 6.7.2

oliver
