Hi, I have found several posts but none seem to work for me. When I try to use the command "net localgroup boinc_admins [name] /add" it tells me the user does not exist but that account is on the computer. Its the account used most. I am running cmd with administrator privileges. I have tried searching Microsoft's site and a general Google search but nothing seems to address this. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate. Thank you, |

To check which user accounts are on the computer, do net user (Enter) Also make sure that the boinc_admins group is actually on the computer, and that BOINC makes use of it. net localgroup (Enter) will give you a list of local groups. The newer beta BOINC versions (7.3.8 and later) make no use of the BOINC groups anymore, unless you specifically installed BOINC as a service. Since you didn't say what you problem was and with which BOINC version, I can only assume that you're getting an error about your username not being able to control BOINC. |
