I have changed the Profile for 4 devices over the last 2 hours and attempted to have the device pickup the change without success.
----------------------------------------In "MY GRID"->"Device Manager" I selected the device, changed the profile from "work" and "home" to "school" and clicked the "Save" control. I then went back to "Device Manager" and verified the selection had been registered. I opened the BOINC Manager on the device that was changed ("Advanced View - Accesible View"), clicked the "Projects" tab then the "Update" control. Message log showed: 2/11/2010 10:42:36 PM|World Community Grid|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Requesting 0 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks 2/11/2010 10:42:41 PM|World Community Grid|Scheduler request succeeded: got 0 new tasks Note: Nothing logged showing a change of profile. I then shutdown the BOINC Manager and restarted. The message log shows: 2/9/2010 8:04:43 PM||Starting BOINC client version 6.2.28 for windows_intelx86 2/9/2010 8:04:43 PM||log flags: task, file_xfer, sched_ops 2/9/2010 8:04:43 PM||Libraries: libcurl/7.19.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8i zlib/1.2.3 2/9/2010 8:04:43 PM||Data directory: C:\WCG\BOINC Data 2/9/2010 8:04:43 PM||Running under account plachy 2/9/2010 8:04:44 PM||Processor: 8 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz [Intel64 Family 6 Model 26 Stepping 5] 2/9/2010 8:04:44 PM||Processor features: fpu tsc pae nx sse sse2 pni mmx 2/9/2010 8:04:44 PM||OS: Microsoft : x64 Editon, (06.01.7600.00) 2/9/2010 8:04:44 PM||Memory: 5.99 GB physical, 11.98 GB virtual 2/9/2010 8:04:44 PM||Disk: 931.41 GB total, 894.55 GB free 2/9/2010 8:04:44 PM||Local time is UTC -6 hours 2/9/2010 8:04:44 PM|World Community Grid|URL: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/; Computer ID: 1169847; location: work; project prefs: work 2/9/2010 8:04:44 PM||General prefs: from World Community Grid (last modified 08-Feb-2010 14:53:20) 2/9/2010 8:04:44 PM||Computer location: work 2/9/2010 8:04:44 PM||General prefs: using separate prefs for work 2/9/2010 8:04:44 PM||Preferences limit memory usage when active to 5521.60MB 2/9/2010 8:04:44 PM||Preferences limit memory usage when idle to 5521.60MB 2/9/2010 8:04:44 PM||Preferences limit disk usage to 9.31GB I have also used the "Advanced->Preferences" option to "clear" followed by "Projects"->"Update" all with the same result, the device does not pick up the profile change. I have done this with devices running Win XP, Vista and 7. as well as changed the profile from both "work" and "home" to "school". The above logs are representative of each device/profile/version. I am only using the WCG provided profiles, Default, Home, School & Work using BOINC version 6.2.28 as distributed on the WCG site. The only change was to install eFMer BOINCTasks and update/add the required gui_rpc_auth.cfg and remote_hosts.cfg to the devices to be controled. Any thought/ideas on what I have to do to change a device profile?

Same issue here.
I tried to change my work profile by unselecting HCC. 20 minutes later the device still downloaded HCC. Option "send me work from another project" is not selected. And yes, I pushed the Save-Button  . |

What you did is right. This is what I do and it has allways worked without problems.
----------------------------------------Now after having changed and saved you went back to the Device manager and could confirm that the profile was indeed changed. The only explanation I see here is that fow whatever reason the servers have not published the change at least during the two hours you were trying. When your boinc manager was accessing the server the old profile was still published. Maybe servers are down, unaccessible, doing stats and many other things. Try again in a few hours and let see if the problem is there, but before updating check again in the Device Manager to be sure that the new profile is displayed.  |

... , but before updating check again in the Device Manager to be sure that the new profile is displayed. Everything double checked. Let's see, if it works at noon  .[Edit 1 times, last edit by roundup at Feb 12, 2010 7:23:33 AM] |

Think profile changes had a client transfer issue some time ago as did the changing of project selections not taking effect.
----------------------------------------Techs notified Edit: Done, but it will be earliest 14:00 UTC before the arrivals to the office. Most know this: Except for the mouse activity and project selection/profile changes, all other alterations are possible through the BOINC preferences screen, and quite quickly for multiple devices via the mentioned BOINCTasks. There's a but: Once you have used local prefs, their override remains in effect until you clear them, even when the website device profile changes have transferred. Edit2:  Could change project either... save, but not passing info to the hopper.

I had the profile temporarily optimized to receive Beta work. Beta pool seems to be empty now and I am unable to change back to normal work.  Hope this is fixed soon. |

Not sure how that can happen, Giba. The selected projects were saved, but am still getting work as per the old selection, the last inbound for HFCC being 11:57 today and several of HCMD2 at 12:37. Saw nelsoc reading this thread, thus guess he's heads down searching for the cause and what switch to flick.

Appear that all Beta crunchers jumped for the "Wise Beta fishing mode" for sometime since started last Betas...
---------------------------------------- Probably not, but maybe it was the root cause for this problem... many people frequently asking for WU's without valid projects attached...just intermitents and Beta...  Out of topic: P.S.: Just a teaser. It is Carnaval (Carnival) time in Brazil, and for guys that would like to enjoy hapiness, parties, festivals, dances, samba, pagode, warm weather, summer, sun a lot, beatyful girls and boys, a lot of very happy pepople living and playing in a good way, with a great smiles, and so on related with this magnific Holiday, I recommend pick a fly and came to Brazil to enjoy it with us ! (to Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Sao Paulo, Porto Alegre, Recife, and any other great and wonderful cities that we have here !). You are welcome ! 
Cheers ! GIB@
