All "Cheaters" check in here to go back to the straight and narrow...
I manage a bunch of clients, so touching all of them isn't practicle. That being said, I still have to make changes, like when our TEAM CAPTAIN MovieMan tells me I gotta get all my boxes off the "cheating" crunchers. Ok, here is the easy way:
@echo off
REM The next line checks to see if the "updates" folder exists and creates it if it does not.
if not exist c:\updates md c:\updates
REM the next line checks to see if boincupd.txt exists and exits the script if it does
if exist c:\updates\boincupd.txt exit
REM The next line stops the BOINC service from running
net stop BOINC
REM The next line runs a java script that kills boincmgr.exe using a .js included below:
CScript s:\KillProc.js boincmgr.exe
REM The next line copies the original cruncher files that you have placed at \\machinename\share\folder\ and overwrites any current files
copy \\machinename\share\folder\boinc.* "C:\Program Files\BOINC" /y
REM The next line creates that boincupd.txt so this won't run but once
dir "c:\Program Files\BOINC" > c:\updates\boincupd.txt
REM The next line starts your crunchers back up with stock files
net start BOINC
REM The next line is just your exit point if the files exist.
:EXIT
Copy and paste the above into notepad and save it as a .CMD file. This will make it execute when run. CALL the file from your logon script if you use one. i.e. if you save it as S:\boincupd.CMD then your logon script would say:
CALL "S:\boincupd.cmd"
Below is the .js file you will need to kill the running boincmgr. follow the directions inside the /*//////////////// lines... Keep in mind that you must place this .js file on a share that everyone can access since your logon script is going to call the .CMD that is going to call this .js on EVERY MACHINE.
