I have been automating Deadline Job submission for a long time now, via script.
This Monday we started having issues with our workstation deployment thanks to Windows update and various other things.
This has caused some errors to pop-up in rendering now.
I’m trying to troubleshoot but submitting a script job via GUI is failing EVERY time, on every machine with the following error:
[code]-- Error occurred in SubmitJobFromUI(); filename: C:\Users\ahosking\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2011 - 64bit\enu\scripts\SubmitMaxToDeadline_Functions.ms; position: 299700; line: 6610

[/code]
I must add that ALL files mentioned in the errors exist, and that Deadline can see each and every network item when it is submitted via maxscript.
I’m at a complete loss at the moment.
