Yes. Use of the command line to create and submit jobs is supported. The command-line interface also supports submission of jobs to the scheduler by script or batch file. See similar questions...

First, of course install TSC. Open TSC and right click on the icon in your task bar (near the clock). Select properties. Set your candidate queue to whatever you want. I max mine out. If you have a dialup computer, unselect the online tab. Click ok, and then right click again and select exit. In this directory, there is a file called readme.txt.. it might be a good idea to read this. It's kind of hard to understand. Now edit (with notepad or something like it), the file called launch.

Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 comes with the Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000), which is installed by default and is used to track jobs. Due to licensing restrictions, customers cannot install the full version of SQL Server on compute nodes running Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. Customers wishing to install full versions of SQL Server should purchase Windows Server 2003 x64 Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter Edition. See similar questions...

It is recommended that the Microsoft job scheduler be used with Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. However, there are also third-party job schedulers that will work with Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. See similar questions...

Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 does not support head-node failover. However, high-availability functionality is being considered for future versions. Windows supports a number of techniques for recovering from a system failure, from using backup utilities to using disk mirroring. See similar questions...

Yes. The Microsoft Compute Cluster Pack (in other words, the second CD of the two CDs that make up Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003) can be purchased separately and will run on 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003 R2. See similar questions...

Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 is an integrated, standards-based compute clustering platform built on top of Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition. Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 is comprised of two CDs. The first CD is Windows Server 2003 Compute Cluster Edition (CCE), and the second CD is the Microsoft Compute Cluster Pack (CCP)-a combination of interfaces, utilities, and management infrastructure that makes up Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003.

Minimum hardware requirements can be found on the Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 system requirements page. See similar questions...

Although Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 requires 64-bit computers for use as compute nodes, 32-bit applications running on 64-bit compute nodes is a fully supported configuration. The 32-bit application will not be able to use the larger memory-addressing available on the compute node, but it will run. Developers will find both 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Message Passing Interface (MPI) libraries included in the Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 Software Development Kit (SDK).

Yes. Windows Compute Cluster Server (CCS) 2003 supports the security requirements for these environments by leveraging Active Directory directory service for user authentication. CCS also provides a Microsoft Management Console plug-in that simplifies managing the head node and compute nodes, which make up a compute cluster. Now, tools such as Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) and Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) can be used to manage CCS. See similar questions...

Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 can be operated as a back end for a number of interactive parallel-computing programs with graphic user interfaces. How this is done and how tightly coupled the parallel processes are depends on the individual program. See similar questions...
