How to set the user in which a job will run RRS feed

    Hi

    When I create a new task I see that it runs under a local account of the head node machine and not in a domain account. I am looged in with a domain account but still jobs are running with a local account.

    The result is that only compute nodes that runs on the head node machine can exeute the task. Other compute nodes fail with "login failed" error.

    How do I set the user in which the job runs ("Run As User" property of a job) 

    I tried using the power shell command $credential = Get-Credential but it did not help. 

    Thanks

    Manu

    Have you tried to clear the HPC credentials? That should at least give you the credential prompt, where hopefully you can use the correct Domain name.

    Hi Manu,

    Which version of the HPC Pack are you using? Could you share exact steps, which you are performing in order to submit a job?

    For 'job submit' command there is a '/user' parameter, which can be used to specify "Run As User" property. Similarly you can do something like this in Powershell:

    Submit-HpcJob -Id 123 -Credential (Get-Credential)

    However by default "Run As User" property has the same value as "Owner", which is the user who created the job, so I am not sure what's going wrong in your environment.

    Best regards,
    Łukasz

    Hi

    Thanks for your reply.

    I am using the cluster manager to submit jobs. I am working with HPC Pack R2 SP1.

    I am logged in using the domain account yet the jobs I create are owned by a local user account of this particular machine.

    When I installed the HPC Pack on the machine I was logged with the local user account. Also when I created my first job I was prompted for credentials and gave the local user account credentials. This was an error...

    I want to change the owner of the old jobs and to make sure new jobs will be owned by the domain user so they will run as with it but I do not find a way to do that.

    What ever I do all my jobs are owned and executed by the local user account and not by the doamin account.

    Manu

    At the HPC Powershell (which is different from the Windows Powershell I've now found out) run the Remove-HpcJobCredential command (or Remove-HpcSoaCredential or Remove-HpcTestCredential depending on what you're running).
