[HTCondor-users] Adding a Windows node to an existing Linux-Pool

[Darius Jakobeit <jakobeit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to wrap my head around how to add a Windows 10  
node to an existing Linux-Pool (Ubuntu 20.04, HTCondor V. 9.0.0).

How did I set up the Linux pool? I followed the instructions here:
https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/v9_0/getting-htcondor/admin-quick-start.html#admin-quick-start-guide

Using the get_htcondor script with a GET_HTCONDOR_PASSWORD. That  
worked like a charm. Now I want to add another execute node which is  
using the Windows 10 operation system. For that I installed HTCondor  
there using these instructions:
https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/v9_0/getting-htcondor/install-windows-as-administrator.html#admin-install-windows-pool

Now the problem here is, that I couldn't enter any HTCondor password  
during the steps in the GUI. A following "condor_status" in powershell  
gave me some authentification errors. From how I have understood the  
manual I think I am supposed to set the pool password with  
"condor_store_cred add -c". However, when I am trying to set the pool  
password with this command I am getting the following error:

"Operation failed. Make sure you have CONFIG access to the target Master."

Can anybody help me here?

Cheers,
Darius
