Folding Forum

Hi There,
I work in IT for a university who's staff are now working from home. We would like to assist and have in excess of 1000 student machines we could utilize, however we would need to automate as much as possible for an SCCM rollout of the product. We also wouldn't have the resource to manually configure so is there an option to push out a command line install and to pre-configure? Any help appreciated. Many thanks...

Derek

Welcome to the support forum.

There is an existing topic that discusses some of the issues and potential solutions here - viewtopic.php?f=106&t=33127.

Some of the basic points, the client needs to be installed on each, cloning can only be done from an install that was not connected to the network as on startup each client requests and gets assigned an unique ID from the F@h servers when they connect for the first time.

The installed FAHClient process can be accessed via telnet local to the machine it is on, that can be used to script some of the setup.

There is an API.

FAHControl can be used to remotely manage other F@h installs.
