For anyone who has not been following THIS THREAD, teams Knights Who Say Ni and Musketeers have joined forces with us to help TPR achieve the much coveted #1 spot in Docking! We tried before with the help of Serious Crunchers, but fell short of having the crunching power to overtake Planet 3DNow (although we did get top spot in RAC ).
We have another chance to gain that oh-so-elusive top position and the time has come to make the push! Iām calling on everyone who can contribute their CPUs to Docking. Letās rally for TPR and for the science!
So, what say you TPR? Shall we give this one more shot?
Nice call EGAD!
I have also messaged DT to see if an e-mail could be sent out to all TPR members to rally the troops!
Hope our third try is the charm, that #1 spot has been so tough to achive.
mass email sent :xfinger: we get some response and push some numbers out - the i7 statistics tab of Boinc is quite fun at the moment
Remember to use the FaceBook like button on the thread as well, will publish a link to here on your FaceBook, no harm in aiming at new members as well

Server2008 deployment needed Judge with Roaming Profiles? I seem to recall reading something about that on one of the boinc dev emails. I know in some cases to do such a thing you need to use an old installer, the ones that ran with data and exe in one place and as a service. Iāll hunt and play tomorrow

Doesnāt the current installer have that? Thatās how I have my work system set up. Clicking the advanced button during setup allows you to specify where the exe and data are stored (I use custom locations), and you can install as a serviceā¦ although they donāt call it that anymore. The service install creates a BOINC user account on the local system for managing the service permissions. The only problem Iāve had is the service log on default of specifying the BOINC user account will sometimes cause the service to fail to start. If I switch the service log on (second service tab) to use ālocal system accountā then the problem goes away entirely.
If he has 100 machines, a install script with those customizations would come in handy. I donāt know if thatās doable or not.
Sorry if there are server issues. It might be the Knights trying to all connect at once and overloading the poor servers. Especailly if we forget to warn the people running the projects that they are in our sights. Several projects have requested that they be forewarned before we rig, I mean have democratic, elections.
OK, Iāll chip in with my ageing office HP workstation providing it can be set to run out of hours only.
Never docked so Iāll need some linkies posted and likely some hand holding.
XP32, Quad 2.5 Xeon, 4GB, ATI V5600 graphics. Whatās the best set up for this?

Ah, itās BOINC now, havenāt contributed to that for years. Lost my ID and changed email address. How can I get it.
PM sent, as admin of the seti team I can see the email used there for boinc
Install the new boinc, itāll ask if you want to join a project when it starts, select Docking@Home, youāll be creating a new account I think. Preferences can be set to run at specific timeframes in the boinc client.
