DBR popup disable on slave
Hi guys, great new release, I'm working now using DBR and it works pretty well for me, anyone has idea how to disable pop-up window (cmd + rendering progress) on slave machine. Is there any way to turn it on in "silent" mode in background?

I already have this planned (optional "silent" mode with no popups), but I didnt have time to include it into A6

Hello,
I know it's an old topic, but is there a silent instal method now? Nothing in the instructions.
Thanks in advance

Re: DBR popup disable on slave
This is another reason (for me) to run DrServer as windows service. Just like satellite server/backburner server/vray spawner and so on. See
https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,7272.0.html
This way you can even use workstations with interactive users for DR in the background. Assumed they don´t need all their CPU power and memory, they wouldn´t even notice ;) (In case of mr satellite one should change the spawning script to run the rendering task with idle priority though)

Re: DBR popup disable on slave
Good point. But still, how to handle 40 renderblades without silent install?
Install new versions on all maschines one by one?
I'm not the IT pro...

Re: DBR popup disable on slave
Hi Daniel,
write a update script? Your 40 nodes should have identical configuration I presume. The script should act like a manual install (copy files) and with drserver running as service you can stop it remotely using "sc" command, copy over the new/changed files and restart it (maybe clean the drdata directory meanwhile). Corona itself should be easy to update/install as long as no max instance is running. Use the "just unpack" option of the installer and copy over the files from the apropriate "3ds max [version_here]" directory. But I would recommend to install every major Corona version on all blades in the first place because I don´t know exactly e.g. what registry settings are done by the installer.
Hmmm another topic for the Goodies section...
Good luck!

Re: DBR popup disable on slave
no necessary registry entries are made. Running "just unpack" and then copying files from one of the directories directly to the node is guaranteed to work
