Unfortunately, Ryan’s going to be out of the office for the next couple weeks – but I’m more than happy to try and help you out! Is this issue occurring on multiple/all slaves or is it just the one? Also, is this occurring for all Max jobs or just this one? If it’s only occurring for one job and/or one slave, could you try resubmitting the same job to a different slave and see if it’s still an issue?
How did you end up resolving this problem? Someone else is running into the same issue, and if you can remember what you did to fix it, we can pass along the information to them.

Has anyone else got round this? I have 4 other machines all working fine!!
When you reinstalled the Deadline client, did you uninstall/install, or did you just install over the existing installation? Another thing to try would be to go to \your\repository\bin\Windows and copy its contents to the Deadline bin directory on the problematic machine (ie: c:\program files\frantic films\deadline\bin).
Also, check to see if the problematic machine has the same version of .NET 2.0 as the other machines. It could be that it’s missing a service pack update.
