<DIV></DIV>Hello,<BR><BR>I have just been able to finally get things
working. The problem was the username; in windows you can change the
"account name" which I did, but there is a "User Profile" which is mapped to the
account name (which appears to be unchangeable through "legit" methods), and it
appears the name of this user profile is important -- it is reflected for
example in the env var "USERNAME". <BR><BR>So I renamed the old account,
created a *new* account named thomas, and was able to mpiexec -validate, and
then finally reach it from another machine to run the example cpi.exe
program.<BR><BR>Thanks very much for the great help on this
forum.<BR><BR>-thomas blom, austin texas<BR><BR>

<DIV></DIV>The test command suggested (mpiexec -n 2 hostname) works fine
on one of the machines. On the other machine (both are winXP) I get
the error:<BR><BR>Credentials for thomas rejected connecting to
mb13<BR>Aborting: Unable to connect to mb13<BR><BR>This is the result of
just running locally, not over a network! In answer to the previous

neither are part of any domain. <BR><BR>I wonder if this has to do
with my having changed the machine name on mb13 ... but I have since
completely uninstalled and installed mpich2. I left the default

and entered my username and password (which I use to login to each machine
sucessfully).<BR><BR>I have tried to play with wmpiconfig, but it is a

[mpich-discuss] mpich2 1.0.8 on windows - domain
required?<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hello,<BR><BR>I have just subscribed to the list to ask a
question about mpich2 on windows. (I found the archives but don't
see a way to search them).<BR><BR>Is it a requirement that the windows
computers participating in mpich2 be part of a windows domain? I
see things in the documentation that perhaps imply this, but not state
it outright.<BR><BR>My computers are simply on a local network, and part
of a "workgroup". The smpd process manager can "see" the other
systems to some extent, since the result of<BR><BR>smpd -status
mb13 // mb13 is the hostname of my other windows
pc<BR><BR>correctly finds that smpd is running on my other host.
But executing mpiexec and providing hostnames in a "machinefile"
e.g.<BR><BR>mpiexec -n 4 -machinefile machines echo
%COMPUTERNAME%<BR><BR>fails with:<BR><BR>Credentials for thomas rejected
connecting to mb13<BR><BR><BR>I have taken care that the username/pass
is identical on each machine, the user is admin, etc. I have
followed steps I've found in various documents about
uninstalling/installing smpd and providing the identical passphrase on
each, running mpiexec -register, etc...<BR><BR>Any ideas? (Or is
it just that I must be running on a domain, which I cannot find concrete
documentation about)<BR><BR>thanks very much, <BR>thomas blom in austin,
tx<BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
