HPC 2008 R2 Diagnostics not working: 'The system cannot find the path specified' reported creating the task

    I am trying to figure out why HPC will not let me run any Diag tests or jobs. I will constantly get the below error no matter what job I run:

    Pre Step run failed due to  : Error from node: [head node]:Exception 'The system cannot find the path specified' reported creating the task

    I think it could be something to do with Environment variables but they seem to be correct:

    CCP_DATA=C:\Program Files\Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 R2\Data
    CCP_HOME=C:\Program Files\Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 R2
    CCP_JOBTEMPLATE=Default
    CCP_SCHEDULER=headnode (actually shows physical server name which I have changed to headnode for this post)

    I have installed all the latest Service packs and is now version 3.3.3950.0

    I wish I could supply more information about the error, but the above is all I am given. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Mike.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your response, I checked out the Event logs and the only noticeable errors are the exact same error that is listed above.

    I have also scheduled a WebEx with a vendor that is a HPC Expert for Monday so will see what they can figure out. thanks.

    Here is one example of many:

    Well in the end, this turned out to be quite a simple fix. The Environment variables did not have the backslash at the end of each directory.
