Hi

With my ADMIN user I try to install the latest BOINC 64bit client but I keep getting "Failed to create 'boinc_admins' group ( Administrator )..."
Can someone help me on how to install BOINC on win SBS 2008?

Cheers

Simply said, you can't. If you want to install BOINC on that system you will have to install 5.10.45 (32bit version, 64bit version).

All BOINC 6 versions so far need to be able to make local accounts. These cannot be made on domain controllers, as they use global accounts only.
