RE: [condor-users] Scratch Files and Limited Accounts on Windows

Thanks, Mark.  Luckily so far I am using a dedicated cluster so it hasn't been a big deal.  I'm going to try my best to get rid of those pesky scratch files.  Why scratch when memory is plentiful?

May I ask you why can't you grant Everyone 'Full access' to the scratch 
directories? This seems to be the only solution. I guess that the solution of 
giving more powerful permissions to the Condor tmp user is unacceptable in 
general case. 
You might want to use 'runas' windows utility and write batch file which runs 
your program with your credentials. It seems to be very insecure, but it might 
help.
