Submitting jobs on linux to run on Windows and vice versa is supported, though it's not very common. Our recommendation is to use HTCondorâs file transfer mechanism.
If you want to use a shared filesystem with jobs running as the submitting user, itâs up to you to synchronize the account names and ensure the usersâ passwords are available for HTCondor on the Windows machines to access (usually stored in the
registry on the submit machine). Our Windows folks know better than I how to do that when the submit machine is linux.
If you sort that out, then you can use the remote_initialdir submit parameter to account for the difference in pathname for the shared volume between linux and Windows.

Dear Dimitri,
This is clear. The question concerns best practices. Since HT Condor officially supports Windows we assume there is a solution for the case when there are many Linux and many Linux nodes at the same time. We realize there could be some difficulties,
that is expected when Windows is concerned, but the question is still here, how to set up such cross-platform cluster with a shared filesystem. Is it at least possible?
All the best,
Alexander A. Prokhorov

So, I just want to configure a Windows machine and continue to work the way
I worked with Linux machines. I want to avoid additional bindings for my
jobs, such as transfer files, manage rights, etc.
The problem is incompatible ids and permissions. Windows has nfs support and linux has samba, but IME without making the files world-writable both/either's a PITA.
