Title: RE: [Condor-users] Newbie Questions (WIN32)

Hmmmm.... just was catching up on the e-mail and noticed this.

Here, in XP I don't need to make those registry changes.  UNC's work fine.  What doesn't work in CMD is changing directory to a UNC.  That isn't supported.

What I am using here is the "pushd" and "popd" commands in a batch file.  To make sure I get the proper userID I am using the Bristol addon to use a common account across all machines.  I am sure that this isn't needed (bristol) anymore since there is some setting todo it now.  Just setup/use an account for running the jobs that has rights to mount drives.

Now, the question is, does pushd and popd also do the "leaking netbios resources" that Matthew had mentioned?

Windows XP can be made to understand UNC -
Just make some changes to the registry:

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]
; - use TAB to auto complete command line, kinda Bash style, but not as
clever
"PathCompletionChar"=dword:00000009
"CompletionChar"=dword:00000009
; - next entry (when set to 1) will allow using UNC in command prompt
"DisableUNCCheck"=dword:00000001

The same settings should go into other parts of the registry, I am not sure
which one is needed. :-)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor]
"PathCompletionChar"=dword:00000009
"CompletionChar"=dword:00000009
"DisableUNCCheck"=dword:00000001

For example, I am starting cmd.exe, and \\seas - is our Samba PDC:

But Condor still have problems launching jobs from UNC folders on Windows.
I have pointed it out couple of times on this forum, but got no reply,
unfortunately.

cheers,

Andrey
