Hey guys,
I recently got appointed the "tech guy" at my fiance's small office. They have a few computers I've replaced with new PC's, fixed a few server issues (all user access issues), and set up a wireless printer and network for them. All fun stuff nothing tricky, and yes I installed BOINC on the new PC's, the owner was delighted when I asked and explained BOINC to her.
So, about this server, all they use it for is data storage, a rarely used industry specific program, and to run the office calendar. It runs 24/7 and has Windows server 2003. I don't know what's inside right now, will check later, but it is a massive Dell computer about 5 years old according to owner. I would like to install BOINC on it but for some reason am nervous about this. I just want to make sure there won't be any conflicts, or any unforeseen circumstances I am not considering.
Cheers! and nice to be back!
