Re: Multiple systems installation

Yes.

If you have a Windows domain, it is simple enough to roll out BOINC with Group Policy. If not, you can replicate a BOINC installation.

If you give us more information about your network, we can give more specific advice.

The installation reference is here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/WinDeploy

Re: Multiple systems installation

We don't need sensitive information - just stuff like OS version, whether you use AD, whether all the computers are on the same subnet, whether you use a proxy - things like that.

Multiple subnets, WinXP on AD2003, no proxy.

Re: Multiple systems installation

Then, if you are comfortable with Group Policy software deployment, you should have no trouble.

I advise that you use the stable 5.8.16 version of BOINC, and follow The Lazy Slug's detailed instructions. Install BOINC as a service.

Get BOINC here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php?min_version=5.8&dev=0

Good luck, and please ask if you need any specific advice.
