new server built and rdy to install boinc
however , I want to save myself from going down the wrong path and having to reinstall my windows server software. Anyways, the question is have installed win server 2008r2sp1 - it's going to be promoted to a Domain Controller tomorrow - should I install Boinc before or after the promo? and what version of boinc should I use?

It's running an Intel core I7-2600K chip, 16 gb ram and win2k8r2sp1 Datacenter (if any of this makes any difference)

Re: new server built and rdy to install boinc
Hello kffitzgerald,

This is not anything I know about, but here are some recent posts about domain controllers.

People seem to recommend the old WCG BOINC 5.10.45 for domain controllers.

Haven't tried them on a DC yet but 6.12.38 or 6.12.39 might work. I found 5.10.45 often ran out of work.
