Changes to Rhinoceros Deployment

The following changes were made to the Rhinoceros deployment on Sites Vista PC’s in the Angell Hall and Architecture Sites:

 

1.       The V-Ray Render Plug-in for Rhinoceros was deployed via the ccs-'08-'09-V-Ray_1.05.03-software GPO to the Angell Hall and Architecture sites.

2.       A firewall program exception for rhino4.exe was added to the ccs-'08-'09-vista-settings GPO. The firewall exception is required to enable communication of the VRay network license manager.

3.       The method used to keyserve Rhino was modified to correct an issue where Rhinoceros failed to install on a newly reloaded system. Previously, a keyed copy of rhino4.exe was deployed using a Group Policy file preference item in the ccs-'08-'09-Rhino-keyed-exe-deployment GPO. The method deploys the keyed rhino4.exe via the Rhino 4 install script in the ccs-'08-'09-Rhino3D_SR4_Software GPO.
