Message 4441 Posted 23 May 2006 by NELLIE1 |
ALSO this is important ... and all of you I really appreciate this help very much I have managed to get things working now by copying the account*.xml and restarting the service. Question The issue I have is to package it up using msiexec using the paramters of msiexec /i boinc.msi /qn /l c:\\boinc.log setuptype='Service' ALLUSERS=0 ENABLESCREENSAVER=0 ENABLELAUNCHATLOGON=0 LAUNCHPROGRAM=0 SERVICE_DOMAINUSERNAME='%COMPUTERNAME%\\%USERNAME%' SERVICE_PASSWORD='%PASSWORD%' SERVICE_GRANTEXECUTIONRIGHT=1 I expect it to load it as a service . But going into Windows services I cant see it , My logon allows it to start services and i have admin rights. Therefore USERNAME is me ... what is happening ? |

Many kind thanks on this.... I am new to this so please accept my apologies for not understanding What do you mean (2. Using one account for all these computers is not a problem. In fact the easiest way to attach them is to manually attach one then copy the account*.xml file from that host to all the new hosts.) So in my senerio... the company decides to do a research hookup.I contact the research and create an account and get id file and a site. The company decides now we need to rollout the account to all pc's . Would you say that the XML be kept centrally and the clients will pick up the changes. We want to take this serious and of course be helpful to alot of researches |

We are currently proofing a requirement with our Company 'Serco'. The requirement from Serco is to design a custom screen saver using VB6 and be able to allow configure / mass installation of BOINC client through our screensaver . The proper questions to our requirements as follows 1) What is the best option of installing BOINC clients on about 4000 pc's accross a Company internet. 2) We would like a single logon which the clients uses to access a defined project which we control.Is this possible for many clients to use one account to a certain project ? 3) Do you have API'S for visual Basic 6 which we can use to configure the client, e.g cpu usage,memory usage and others. 4) We do not want Boinc interfering with our custom screensaver but only to activate on low pc usage. 5) Could we embed the BOINC client in our screensaver with out the need of a full client installation (e.g have only necessary components of BOINC and embed this on our screensaver code) Many kind thanks |
