Hello,

I have BOINC running in 2 servers:

- microsoft small business server 2003 premium (SBS)
- windows 2003 server r2 (running as a terminal services server) (W2003R2)

both server have got SAME WCG-BOINC profile (they only run world community grid projects); I have selected NO in "Do work while computer is in use?" option and in option "Do work only between the hours of" I have selected only off-business hours

but when, during that off-business hours, BOINC is running, I connect using Terminal Services to both servers, only the SBS server stops running BOINC; the W2003R2 server continues executing BOINC; is like it does not notice about my login.

Both servers have BOINC 5.2.13 installed; I noticed that 5.4.11 was ready to doenload so I upgraded BOINC in SBS server (the one that has got the issue).

The result is that after BOINC upgrade issue still persits.

if I move mouse or I type in keyboard IN CONSOLE, BOINC stops running because user is active.

Problem is only with terminal server users and only in W2003R2 server (in SBS2003 sever when a user login trhough Terminal Server BOINC stops running). W2003R2 server is configured as a Terminal Server Application mode.

When I connect to the servers I want BOINC to suspend execution.

Any idea?

Regards,

Julio

BOINC Manager has to be running for the user who signs in to a terminal server session in order for the keyboard/mouse detection code to work.
