If you have no work to process at the moment I'd be unhappy, but default settings are that you should have a number of hours to go.

What i see in my client log is that somewhere after 2:28pm my time the server, the scheduler part stopped accepting "Ready To Report" and lining up new work, but upload of results works fine. The technicians are in, so I presume they're working on something.

I get the same messages. I was trying to queue up some machines as I will be out of town rest of the week and they will have no network activity for a few days. I suppose it will have some idle time

This sounds like a problem that we have had before when 1 server went down and the other stayed up. Luck of the draw which server the request was sent to. Some people would have bad luck and some people would have good luck.

I am not so fortunate, guys:

I hadn't run WCG for many months lately and today (when I finally turned back to it) I received the above messages.

Where can I see a server status page that lets me know if there are any WUs available for my Windows client?

Benderr2001,

Sorry about that "in from the cold" experience. There's no place to see what's in the feeders. WCG has always work, oodles to at least well into the next decade. It's just one of these Monday morning/afternoon mishaps. The techs were asked to check in the back room.

What we do recommend is that if a member chooses to only run a particular (sub) project of WCG, to opt-in to the "If there is no work available for my computer for the projects I have selected above, please send me work from another project." option in the device profile so when something runs dry, you get work from a backup (sub)project at WCG.

Barney, interesting, but my HCC only client is getting it it too, intermittently. It's intermittent for me and just got more faah:
