Maya Backburner

I am using this tool with Maya 2018.3 on a workstation and 4 Dell Poweredge R610 with Win 10 Pro as render nodes.Installation on Windows 10 is a piece of cake.Most complex issue that almost mad me cry was that IPv6 protocol has to be deaktivated for each ethernet socket that wants to communicate with the manager.Once setup it works fine and fast.I do recommend to carry out the Backburner timeout fix from JoshBSS in the Autodesk forums. This works around the preset 60 minutes timeout, that cuts off longer renders.
