spawner-service with 2014

[digitarch]

Hi, we´d like to switch to spawner running as service so we won´t need autologons anymore. Slaves still running xp64 and 3dsmax2014 (still without sp1). Are there any issues on 2014 spawner as a service? Still need to run one backburner job before? Also, somebody having issues on running 2014 without sp1 on the renderslaves?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,

V-Ray for Max 2014 spawner should work fine when is set as service, just make sure that this service has the correct Log on settings with administrator privileges.
Probably you have already noticed that the name of the spawner is "vrayspawner2013", the same name used by the preview 2013 version, therefore we can advice to remove the other one.
If you have any troubles or questions, you can post them here or contact us at support@chaosgroup.com

Tashko,
sounds great, thanks a lot! What about the spawners still running 3dsmax2014 WITHOUT sp1? There was an issue under winxp64! Are there problems when getting spawnerjobs from the workstations running 3dsmax2014 WITH sp1?
And - do i still have to run one job with backburner 2014 befor spawning works?

You will not need to run a Backburner job after installing new service pack. It's required on fresh install of 3ds Max only.
DR with 3ds max 2014 sp1 should work without any problems.
