We should create a solution for easily installing the BOINC client
(pre-attached to a project or account manager)
on a large number (e.g. hundreds) of computers.

On Windows for sure; possibly on Linux or Mac as well.

And create a cookbook for this.

There is already a remote installation method for one computer at a time available for the Mac, as referenced in issue #5551 and described here. (I don't know if a similar facility already exists for Windows or Linux.) This might be automated for multiple computers by using a shell script.

A small program (invoked by the same script) could then attach each computer to a project or account manager by sending the appropriate RPCs to the computer. It might not even require a new program if the same shell script invokes boinccmd with the appropriate arguments.
