Hi Charl,

i have a setup directory with setiathome-3.08.i386-winnt-cmdline.exe
and user.sah in it.
This is the command line SETI that runs as a service.
If you create a setup.bat with the next 3 lines in it you should be
okay :

copy setiathome-3.08.i386-winnt-cmdline.exe setiathome.exe
seti_control install -standalone
net start seti@home

This will install the seti service. 
If your machines do not have direct internet access, you need to add
an extra line to indicate the proxy. The setup.bat then looks like :

copy setiathome-3.08.i386-winnt-cmdline.exe setiathome.exe
seti_control install -standalone
seti_control install -proxy host:port
net start seti@home

If you have a large network and a lot of users, you could even use
this script from the login script !
Assuming you always run seti from c:\program files\seti i would add a
check so the setup.bat looks like this :

if exist %systemdrive%\progra~1\seti\setiathome.exe goto end
copy setiathome-3.08.i386-winnt-cmdline.exe setiathome.exe
seti_control install -standalone
seti_control install -proxy host:port
net start seti@home
:end

Hope this helps.
regards,
Rijk

Hi All

Whenever a new user logs onto windows seti prompts me to enter the email
addy of the subscribed user. I got arround this storing some of the *.sah
files in c:\documents & settings\default user.

My question is this. How do you run seti on a large network without having
to fill in all the little settings and stuff. I noticed that the seti exe
had a -min switch that would minimize it to the system tray. Is there other
switches maybe for the proxy email addy etc ?

That looks like a permissions issue, each user is trying to run SETI 
seperately.

Have you looked at SETI as a Service?
