| 1 | | Reference: ticket # 393? |
| 2 | | Environment: public PC with admin account. Upon windows logoff; machine is 're-imaged'. |
| 3 | | Requirement: No public person is to have access to BoInc via the BoInc tray icon. Other obvious routes can be hidden; less obvious routes, oh well. |
| 4 | | Approach: I have eliminated the MSCONFIG entry ...boincmgr.exe /a /s. This is replaced with a Task Scheduler enrty ...bioncmgr /a /m. Trigger is startup + 1 minute, running under a 2nd hidden admin account. This avoids the tray icon. |
| 5 | | results: Mostly works, however at times no processing is kick off. May well not be due to my approach. |
| 6 | | Question-1: Is boinctray.exe needed in MSCONFIG to launch under the active / logon admin account? Gossip says it is needed to honer the PC-in-use constraints. |
| 7 | | Question-2: Is it or was it ever true that the install option to run in protected mode requires a non-admin account to host the session, and does that account have to be non-batch? |
| 8 | | Question-3: The approach of 'protected mode' is known to corrupt the gpu for other apps? |
| 9 | | apologizes: As an old mainframe guy; I realize a trouble ticket system is not the place to ask questions. |
| 10 | | bottom line: Provide a concise step by step doc to allow a 'hidden' approach to running BoInc. |
