BOINC: Domain Controller Installation

When intending to install the agent on a server that is configured to act as a Domain Controller, an older version is needed to be selected, release 5.10.45 or earlier. The reason is that newer packages, 6.2 and above, will want to create special *sandbox* accounts to limit the client's rights producing such errors as:

"Failed to add user to the 'boinc_admins' group".

A future release, 6.14 or 7.xx may be restoring the ability.
