Hi,
I have installed the latest UD agent of 10 P.C's where I work. I installed them using the administrator account. When a normal user logs in, they are prompted for a username and password for the UD agent. If I enter my credentials, then that user is never prompted again, but if a different user logs onto the P.C, then the problem reoccurs for them. Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Thanks Michael |

It is possible to run ud.exe as a service to make it user independent.
----------------------------------------This is only one thread that discusses it. I see several by searching for "run service". http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=217#1190

A far simpler solution for this is to use BOINC. The BOINC installer understands about such advanced (not!) concepts as multiple users, and also offers a service install. So, migrate to BOINC. You can even push BOINC out to multiple PCs at once using Group Policy.

There are at least two solutions to the problem. One is to run BOINC.
