Hello, question for the dev list on the subject of network installs:

We're dealing with an environment that consists of Windows machines that
are centrally-provisioned and reset to a default image for each login
session. We are able to save and restore a limited amount of data for
each session, so the process looks like this:

- user logs in to the network
- clean profile is created
- clean BOINC installation is loaded, including acct_mgr_url.xml and a
default acct_mgr_login.xml
- specific acct_mgr_login.xml and client_state.xml are pulled from the
network, if saved previously for this machine

This process seems to be working for a few machines, but others don't
even appear to be trying to connect to the account manager, reporting
only this:

10-Sep-2012 13:46:11 [---] This computer is not attached to any projects
10-Sep-2012 13:46:11 [---] Visit http://boinc.berkeley.edu for instructions
10-Sep-2012 13:51:51 [---] Project communication failed: attempting
access to reference site
10-Sep-2012 13:51:55 [---] Internet access OK - project servers may be
temporarily down.

Would it be accurate to say that, in order for this to happen, the
client must not be configured properly with acct_mgr_url or
acct_mgr_login? Does anything stand out about this process that would
make it prone to such error?

Thank you,
