Hi,
 
>> a) We want to increase the 
number of windows machines to run our MPICH2 application and some of the new 
machines are in a different country. Do all windows machines have to 
be
>> in the same windows domain in order to run the MPI 
App?
        You 
don't need all the windows machines to be in the same domain to run your 
MPI application. However you must make sure that all the machines have a 
local user with the same username+password . You can register, say user 2, using 
mpiexec (mpiexec -register -user 2) and use that user to run your MPI app 
(mpiexec -user 2 -n 10 myapp.exe). 
 
>> b) Is there a tool to monitor our MPI APP and check the 
status of all the machines without login to each one of them? Something we can 
run from a single machine.
        There is no tool currently to monitor the status of MPI apps 
(Although we have plans for the same). You can check the status of the process 
manager, smpd, from any machine by specifying the hostname as part of the 
"-status" option of smpd (smpd -status hostname). This command will let you know 
if PM/smpd is running on the host. 
 
  Let us know if you need further information.
 
Regards,
Jayesh

I have two quick questions regarding MPICH2 
windows version:

a) We want to increase the number of windows machines to 
run our MPICH2 application and some of the new machines are in a different 
country. Do all windows machines have to be
in the same windows domain in 
order to run the MPI App?
b) Is there a tool to monitor our MPI APP and check 
the status of all the machines without login to each one of them? Something we 
can run from a single machine.

Thanks

Richard
