Title: Jobs are placed in idle and sit there doing nothing

Hello again to all,
I am a little bit desperado for help. I am locked in this phase and don't know how to get the jobs to run.

Following Ben Burnett advice I followed the instructions on the manual and from the http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/PCW2007/presentations/quinn_windows.ppt file to configured my central manager, submitting and executing machines to store network users' credentials by using the Windows credD functionality. Now every time I tried to submit a job it remains on idle state.

Someone has an idea on how to make the job to run successfully,

Alex

A few months back I was trying to run some jobs but I could never make it work. I postponed this issue for a few months to take care of other priorities. I completed the execution of the projects I was involved so now I can dedicate my full attention to resolve this inability to run jobs due to permissions issues. I am retaking the previous description of my error message because basically it's the same.

Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

On that previous e-mail I wrote the following:

"I created a domain account with read permissions (condoruser@xxxxxxxxxx) over the network shares I am trying to access to run jobs. I added the credentials on each windows computer using the condor_store_cred command, I ran the job multiple time but It's still failing, even though the share have unrestricted permissions to everyone (domain account) I gave them specific permission on those network share to  condoruser, someone advised me to use the parameter run_as_owner, but If I need to add it in the global condor_config file or in the description file".



To be more specific about the problem the syntax I followed to submit my jobs is the following:

condor_submit filename.txt



Which generates an error log with the following messages:

Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

Access is denied.



The batch file is the following:
systeminfo /s computername > \\sharename\directory1\4alex\computername.txt



The description file is as follow:
