Hello all,

"Error Submitting Job to Manager

500 Error creating new job 'jobName' "

I am getting this error with a Windows 7, 3DsMax 2010 SP1, Vray 1.50 SP6 on a renderfarm setup with multiple OS versions (Windows XP, XP64, 7 64-bit). The renderfarm is running Windows 7 64bit as well as 3DsMax 2010 64 bit but the client machines differ as stated above. I have no problems submitting from the render machines to each other, but the client machines give me the dreaded error 500 cannot submit job “job name”. I have enabled ICMPv4, Modified the nrapi.cfg file on all machines to reflect the network user which is used for rendering, I double checked the backburner.xml file and ensured that the manager name and port numbers are correct, I even created permission for both backburner manager/server and 3DsMax in the firewall of each machine and still I get the error. I understand that in older releases of 3DsMax Combustion had to be installed for this to work but 2010 does not come with a Combustion install, so I’m assuming that setup is obsolete by now. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
