Good question. I have not tried to do this, it's been about 6 years since I last used a Windows cluster.
Built-in, it looks like the only remote cluster manager available by default in base Julia communicates over ssh - http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/parallel-computing/#man-clustermanagers Is your cluster using Windows HPC Server? How would you usually create parallel jobs and communicate between workers? Are you using Microsoft MPI? There is an open pull request for adding support for Microsoft MPI to MPI.jl (see https://github.com/JuliaParallel/MPI.jl/issues/51 and https://github.com/JuliaParallel/MPI.jl/pull/52), but I don't think it's actually been tested across multiple machines yet. Maybe support for Windows HPC Server could be added to the ClusterManagers.jl package? Would have to check the documentation both for ClusterManagers.jl https://github.com/JuliaParallel/ClusterManagers.jl and Windows HPC Server https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff919397.aspx to see what would be needed. I don't think there's an easy way to delete a variable binding. You can call workspace() which really just moves the current content of your Main module to Main.LastMain.
