If you want to attach to a project right after startup automatically you only need an account_.xml file. The client_state.xml should not be transfered. This file saves the state of a specific client on a specific machine. There should be no information in there that you need to copy over to a new computer. See here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Creating_custom_installers and here http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Initialization_files on how to prime the Client with a project account or an account manager. Btw: In our Cluster environment we supply a basic account_*.xml right after installing the distribution supplied package which works very nice. The content is like this: > |<account> <master_url>PROJECT_MASTER_URL</master_url> > <authenticator>12345678901234567890123456789012</authenticator> > </account>| This should do the same as the project_init.xml described in the links above.
