Initialization files problem + Account manager communication failed

I am using BOINC and I need help with two things.

  1.  I am deploying BOINC on about 20 computers, with initialization files so that they will automatically attach to the gridrepublic account manager. For some reason, BOINC does not see these files, acct_mgr_login.xml and acct_mgr_url.xml which are in BOINC's data directory. I am using BOINC version 6.10.43.
  2. When I manually attach BOINC to the account manager, it cannot communicate with  gridrepublic. It tries to fetch the configuration file but fails. Here's some of the output in the messages tab:

I have a few questions/comments.  First the current stable version of BOINC is 6.10.18 right now not 6.10.43.  I don't know if that may be an issue since they revoked 6.10.43 for some reason.

Is your GridRepublic attached to any projects?  Have you tested if your GridRepublic account can attach to one computer without the script?  If you were only attached to one project say SETI@home, did you check the project servers if they were up or not at the time of installation?  GridRepublic just relays connections to the projects so their servers have to be up to attach for the first time to my understanding.

The bug in that version was a GPU bug and does not affect me. But most of my problem has been solved. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=5750

just curious -- did you manage (via your script) to suppress the "attach to project" wizard?

Nope, that's the problem I'm having now.

and you have a valid acct_mgr_url.xml file?

(possibly a useful step: try including acct_mgr_url.xml but not including acct_mgr_login.xml): in this case the client, upon install should start the "attach to account manager" wizard instead of the "attach to project" wizard...)
