Hi there,
Hi there. I am experiencing an odd issue.
We have a number of high end computers. During the day they are used for programs like AutoCAD, Revit. After working hours, I want these machines to become render nodes for for my 3D department.
So i've added a group policy for all users in our company for when they log off (User Configuration), a batch file runs with "net start backburner_srv_200" which launches the render node service.
Also, as a user logs on (in the morning), a batch file runs with "net stop backburner_srv_200" which stops the render node service , letting the actual user utilize the power of the computer for AutoCAD, Revit.
Now, all runs well for the most part. However, at least once a week at least one (morning)user complains that after he/she logs on, the backburner_srv_200 services is still running, when it really should have stopped.
Windows logs report no issues. Is Group Policy being ran too late or too early or ran at all? Is there a way to make sure my GP forces the service down when a user logs on?
Thank you,
