Hi All,

I have been given permission by my line manager to install BOINC as a company group effort for Rosetta across our network using a logon script, I have no problems creating the script but I do have some worries about the service install as my instructions were to perform a non invasive install that would not effect users working.

After reading http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Deploying_BOINC_on_networks, I noticed that note that says "Note - at this time the manager doesn't launch at the end automatically but it should after a reboot.",

My line manager does not want the boinc manager to launch after reboot. So I was wondering if there was a way to do a silent install that does not install/load the boinc manager?

Regards,

With a service install, the BOINC Client is automatcially started whenever the computer is turned on (even without logging in). The BOINC Manager is only used to monitor and manage the client. It should only automatically launch on the first reboot to allow you to attach projects and set preferences. After that, the manager will not open automatically.

On a normal install, the BOINC Client opens and closes with the Manager. Since you're doing a service install, the client can run without the manager.
