Thanks Jayesh.

It seems smpd never returns a command prompt. I had to kill the process
(CNRL-C) after several minutes of waiting for the command prompt. 

I have attached the smpd.log

-------------------------------

C:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin>smpd -stop
Stopping MPICH2 Process Manager, Argonne National Lab.
MPICH2 Process Manager, Argonne National Lab stopped.

C:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin>smpd -d > smpd.log
^C
C:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin>dir

-------------------------------

Thanks again,	--len

Hi,
 Please provide us the process manager/launcher dbg traces so that we can
help you further. Follow the steps below to collect the traces.

# Open an admin command prompt (Right-click on command prompt icon and
select "Run as administrator")
# Stop smpd (Type "smpd -stop" at the command prompt)
# Run smpd in debug mode and redirect output to a file (Type "smpd -d >
smpd.log" at the command prompt)
# Run your job using launcher in verbose mode and redirect output to a file
(Type "mpiexec -verbose -n 2 hostname > mpiexec.log").
# After the job launcher exits, kill smpd in debug mode (Ctrl-C to stop smpd
running in debug mode)
# Start smpd in normal mode (Type "smpd -start" to start smpd in normal
mode)
# Send us the mpiexec and smpd logs (smpd.log & mpiexec.log)

Regards,
Jayesh

Yes, on the last MPICH2 install I made sure I checked the All Users box.


Here is the unsuccessful result of placing the IP address: 192.168.1.3 in

Hi,
 Can you try explicitly specifying the host by its ipaddress and see if it
works (mpiexec -n 2 -machinefile mf.txt hostname; where the file mf.txt
contains the ipaddress of the local host)?
 As I mentioned before, did you install MPICH2 for "All users" (During
installation MPICH2 installer requests for this information - the default is
"Just me") ?

Regards,
Jayesh

Thanks Jayesh.

I did not change any default setting during the install. I do not know what
the possible setting are and I showed the install command line in the
previous email.

I created a new admin account XYZ, logged in to that account, and opened a
command window as administrator. The same credentials rejection results:

----------------------------

C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -register
account (domain\user) [SECS8\XYZ]: XYZ
password:
confirm password:
Password encrypted into the Registry.

C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -validate
SUCCESS

C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -n 2 hostname
Credentials for XYZ rejected connecting to SECS8
Aborting: Unable to connect to SECS8

----------------------------

Thanks for your continuing efforts,  --len

Hi,
 Did you change any of the default settings when you installed MPICH2 ?
 Can you try creating a different (different from "Schwer") local admin user
and running your MPI job as that user (register/validate/mpiexec)?

Jayesh

Thanks Jayesh.

1. I did not install the 32 bit MPICH2 on the target 64 bit Windows Vista &
7 machines. I only mentioned I installed the 32 bit version on a Windows XP
box just to indicate I could successfully install the program on some PC.

2. I uninstalled MPICH2 on the target 64 bit Windows Vista machine and
attempted the install as you kindly described. The install was successful.
NOTE: the file name on my installer package is slightly different:
   mpich2-1.2.1p1-win-x86-64.msi        "1.2.1p1"



Below is the series of commands issued to install, register, and validate
MPICH2 and the corresponding rejection of credentials:

Hi,

# Did you uninstall the 32-bit version of MPICH2 before installing the
64-bit version (Currently you cannot have multiple versions of MPICH2
installed on the same system)?
# Did you launch the MPICH2 installer from an administrator command prompt
using the msiexec utility (Right-click on the command prompt icon and select
"Run as administrator" . From the administrator command prompt type "msiexec
/i mpich2-1.2.1-win-x86-64.msi" to install MPICH2)? If not, uninstall MPICH2
and install following the steps above.

Regards,
Jayesh

Thanks Jayesh.

I am administrator on SECS8.

Frankly I can't recall if the install was all users, but I have the ONLY
account on this PC.

Also, all commands listed below were entered in a Command Window launched as
administrator.

Hi,
 Are you an administrator on the machine (SECS8)? Did you install MPICH2 for
"All users" (During installation MPICH2 installer requests for this

Hi,
 Try just registering "Schwer" (instead of "SECS8\Schwer") and see if it
works ("validate" should pass).

Thanks again Jayesh for the reply.

I attempted your suggestion to -validate and this failed:


C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -remove
DeleteCurrentPasswordRegistryEntry:RegDeleteValue(password) failed, error: 6
ERROR: Unable to remove the encrypted password.

C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -register
account (domain\user) [SECS8\Schwer]:

confirm password:
Password encrypted into the Registry.

C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -validate
FAIL

C:\Windows\system32>hostname
SECS8


I *think* SECS8 is both the hostname and computer name, but is at least the
hostname.

Hi,
 After registering your username try validating the username/password with
the "-validate" option and provide us with the results.
 Is "SECS8" the domain name or the computer name (Type "hostname" at the
command prompt) ?

Jayesh

Thanks Jayesh for the response.

I have installed the 64-bit version of MPICH2 on the Windows Vista & 7
boxes.

Yes "Schwer" is a user on domain "SECS8," with admin privileges. 

I believe I demonstrated in my original email the your suggestions, re:
-remove & -register. Also, accepting the offered domain/username via hitting
a return and then supplying the password.

Thanks again for your offered suggestions.		--len

Hi,
 If you are installing MPICH2 on a 64-bit machine we recommend that you
install the 64-bit version of MPICH2
(http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/downloads/index.php?s=downl
oads). Try if it works.
 From the error message, It looks like the username/password combination is
not valid.
 Is "Schwer" a domain user (on domain SECS8)? Try accepting the default
username (Press Enter key when prompted for the username with the
"-register" option) and provide the password when prompted and see if it
works.
 Let us know the results.

Regards,
Jayesh

Hello --

I have a successful Windows XP 32 bit install of MPICH2.

I have attempted installs on two other boxes: Windows Vista and Windows 7,
both 64 bit. As far as I can tell the install went well.

My problem is getting either install to recognize my username/password.

Below is a command window session where the command window was launched
using "Run as Administrator"


C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -remove
Account and password removed from the Registry.

C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -register
account (domain\user) [SECS8\Schwer]:
password:
confirm password:
Password encrypted into the Registry.

C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -n 1 hostname
Credentials for SECS8\Schwer rejected connecting to SECS8
Aborting: Unable to connect to SECS8

Any suggestions or pointers?

Thanks,	--len
