Hello all,

I'm trying to get Hqueue to work on our network!

The issue might be // vs \\

We've got a mixed back of Windows machines, three Win10 and 5 Win7

Every time I submit a job I get an error that the ifd or hip file can't be found!
The path displayed uses all forward slashes “//” and if I copy/paste into the file explorer in Windows it indeed can't find it!
However, if I change them all to back slashes I can find the files.

Can I make Houdini/Hqueue/Mantra use backslashes? I'm in a Windows only environment.

Also, I changed the “LogOn” account for the HQueue Client service to use my domain account!

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

ah… nope. that wasn't the issue at all!

My office's domain controls are just crazy…

For anyone else having this issue, the solution was to enter my domain credentials in the “LogOn” tab for the hqueue service.
Had to manually enter it as opposed to searching for my name and at that I had to use “domain\user” format (whereas Windows kept populating it as “username@domain.company”)
