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

["Andrey Kaliazin" <A.Kaliazin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
