  Hi All,
  

  We have 10 tasks running on each node (cluster of 8 nodes) but we want to schedule more than 80 task. We want to schedule 240 task but the dependency is that there is a max of 10 tasks on 1 node.
  I'm lost in how to create the next 160 task's on a automated way.

  This is what i created so far with the powershell cmdlets of the hpc cluster.

  $cred = get-credential -Message "Please put in an account that has rights on the windows HPC cluster"
  #the scheduler on which the job is running
  $scheduler = "Scheduler"
  $nameoftask = "Taskname"
  $nameofjob = "Name of job"
  $jobs = 1..$Numberofjobs
  $start = 0
  $end = 10
  
  foreach ($job in $jobs)
  {
  Write-host Starting Job $job with task start $start and $end
  
  $j = New-HpcJob -Name "$nameofjob $job" -Scheduler $scheduler
  $j | Add-HpcTask -Name "$nameoftask" -Parametric -Start $start -End $end -Increment 1 -CommandLine "$batchlocation *"-Scheduler $scheduler -NumCores 1 -Stderr $errorfile -Stdout $outputfile
  $j|Submit-HpcJob -Scheduler $scheduler -Credential $cred
  
  $start  = $end   +1
  $end = $start +9
  
  }
