I have a small render farm - two workstations and one dedicated render server.
I would like to use both workstations for Net Render (as well as the dedicated box), but don't want to use 100% of the available cores on my co-worker's workstation. I have the ability on my own computer to (via the Task Manager) "Set Affinity" on the 3dsmax.exe process to specify how many cores Max can use. My coworker does not have that ability since the Max process is being launched from my computer. Since neither of us have Admin rights, we can't "Show processes from all users" so he can't even see the active 3dsmax.exe task that was initiated by my computer - Thus, he can't "Set Affinity" on the Max process.
It seems like I remember a way to specify the individual cores via the IP address when you assign a server in the Distributed Rendering settings - something like 0.0.0.0:01. Am I remembering this correct?
