I am currently writing a white paper trying to get BOINC installed across a portion of my organization's laptops/workstations. Roughly 500-1000 laptops/workstations.

I would like some advice on how this could be managed.

I know BOINC requires Admin Rights to install, so it would be installed by the I.T. support department.

How do you think BOINC could be managed and controlled across a company?

It could be installed and then configured to use GridRepublic or BoincStats(BAM), using one master ID and password for every install so the I.T. Manager could control/manage which projects were allowed.

Is there a way to manage BOINC across many computers without the use of a 3rd party website?

Any idea's or existing examples of successful organizational management would be greatly appreciated.

An unbiased plug: World Community Grid has compiled a mass roll-out document [visit their sites'
