Question

While connecting to windows machine as slave, i am getting following error i think its some network related issue, but need some help where to start looking or what is a pos

Answer 1

I experienced the same issue. I found out that the windows slave switched to a "sleep" mode specially if your jobs are not running against a GUI.

• For windows... no move of the mouse or keyboard means no activity.

Then to successfully solve it. On a Windows7 slave, here is what I did:

• Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options
• Show additionnal plans

• select High performance

• Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings

• turn off display never
• Change advanced power settings -->turn off hard disk after 10000 min

Should be ok after this procedure
