Another deadline newbie here with a question. I’ve installed Deadline on my computer and one of our render nodes. We have a large network of 1000s of computers. When I open the Deadline Configuration program and select the relevant domain to point to the repository and license server it searches endlessly for that one machine.
I tried to filter it by IP address but then it spent just as much time purging unwanted nodes.
Is there a faster way to limit the search?
It’s a very large corporate network. We’re running Windows XP sp1
Thanks,
Dan
Hi Dan,
When you go into network configuration, just un-check everything and hit “OK”.
After a few moments, the interface should appear.
Then click something like (from memory…), click, “file” and “add additional machines”.
Hopefully, with a bit of luck, you will have some documentation on your network of all your computer names…? So, a simple copy and paste should work fine.
(You only have to do this the first time and the computer names are remembered between sessions)
Mike
PS - If you restrict the IP search to say, 123.123.. it should be reasonable on the search time?
Thanks for the tip. I’ll give it a try.
