First of all, hello to you all! This is my first post. Unfortunately, my first post is a question, but I'll hope to contribute with my knowledge too in the future. Also, I'm not a native english speaker, so please excuse me any errors or grammar mistakes.
I work part-time at a university department as a project manager. The university has at least 150 computers (probably more, around 200-220, haven't checked all rooms). I would like to setup a small botnet especially for mining cryptocurrencies via a multipool. I will give you as much information about the infrastructure as I can:
The optimum end condition would be that all these computers run silent CPU&GPU cryptocurrency miners via a multipool using maximum 20-30% computing power (maybe more from 11pm to 4am when nobody is there) to not catch any attention.
Physical access is possible, but very risky. It would be great if it could be installed remotely through the network.
Can anyone guide me through the process of finding network vulnerabilites, installing silent miners etc. to start mining on a botnet? I am willing to share 50% of the mining profit to anyone who is willing to guide, teach and help me through this time. It's a bit like a remote assistant job.
Thanks a lot in advance! :)

- They use GroupWise as mail/calendar/etc. tool
- They use OpenVPN pretty often to connect to several network drives
- They don't have software like HDGuard installed, permanent software installs are possible
- Admin access on almost all computers is possible (almost all machines have only one user account which almost every time has Admin permissions)
- They use AVG Antivirus on most of the machines, but often with manual updates that aren't done most of the time
- They have average-grade computers with Windows 7
