[Condor-users] Condor 7.0.2 in combination with Windows XP and Vista

["Thomas Laue" <Thomas.Laue@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have encountered a problem after upgrading a small Condor pool from version 6.8.8 to 7.0.2. The pool consists of 2 computers equipped with Windows XP and a central manager machine equipped with Vista. I installed version 7.0.2 on the central manager and the two processing nodes. Everything was working smoothly with Condor 6.8.8

Now, all jobs submitted to the processing nodes are cancelled after a few seconds on the XP systems. I found the following messages in the StarterLog.slot1 file (similar ones for other slots).

I made one additional test in which I used only the Vista machine as central manager and processing node at the same time. All my jobs were completed successfully. I did not encounter the same problems.

I would appreciate any help. 

Best Regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen
