We might have finally gotten to the bottom of the machines “turning off” issue. Apparently we had issues with individuals remoting into machines and forgetting to log off so our IT department redid some group policies that forced machines to log off after several hours of “idle” use. They didn’t advise me of this change as they didn’t think it would effect the render farm, but obliviously it did. We took our render node user account out of this new group policy late Friday and no machines shut down over the long holiday weekend! I am pretty confident that this resolved the “turning off” issue. Thanks again for all of the time you guys spent trying to help us out.
Cheers,
Austin Reed
