Hi All,
I am trying to install BOINC Software on a Windows 2008 R2 Server, which also acts as a domain controller.
Setup therfore is unable to create Groups and users.

Who can I install this software in my environment?

thx

This is a known, and long-delayed, problem - see trac ticket [trac]#652[/trac].

The simplest workround is install version 5.10.45 (or something else from the v5 sequence), unless you require new hardware support - I would imagine GPU hardware would be rare on domain controllers - or intend to attach to a project like AQUA wich uses other advanced features of the later BOINC versions, like multi-threading. In that case, there are more complicated workrounds available - ask again - but let's keep it simple for now.
