I have been deploying new PCs at my work and BOINC install is one of the steps. I've noticed on the last three, over the last week, that BOINC will download 1-4 initial jobs (almost always MCM now) when the client starts for the first time. It will start working and then after 5-10% completion it will go to 100% and say something about "Project removed..." and in the log it says "Result xXxx is no longer usable."
----------------------------------------There's also a new line I haven't seen before about "Generating a new computer cross-project ID". Then it usually downloads more jobs to fill the queue and works as normal.

I am just guessing here, but could this be an anti-virus application killing those jobs ? Or is there some (possibly corporate) permission missing ?

Not likely since it says the project is cancelling the job. Our antivirus is set to allow WCG/Boinc. Nothing is being blocked.

Q: The machines aren't by-chance cloned and have the same "client_state.xml" file in the image do they?
There's a write-up about how BOINC will regenerate the HostID once it detects a duplicate, and as I read your note I wondered if that was what was happening since (if I read correctly) once this happens the machines proceed to operate as normal from then on. See --> https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/HostId And --> https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Host_identification_and_merging |

No, set up individually.

Tried looking on my task list to see if I had suffered from this. - I had set up the jobs so that there was always a minimum of about 5% between the progress of tasks. I looked today and saw about four or five all within one percent of eachother. I realise that if there had been a gap in work available it would have had the same effect. If that was the cause it was too far back in the event log to show. I will have a look in the old logs and have a look there.
