Hello,

is it possible to automatically install a package as soon as the agent is installed on the computer?

Thank you.

Hello,

You can add the desired packages to the OU that the affected PCs belong to.
If you are not using Active Directory, you can create virtual OUs to create a directory structure on your PCs.

You can also create AD profile packages if you are using security groups in AD.

With these two solutions, your packages will install automatically with the first package upgrade.

Hi Guillaume,

to add to Benoit's answer, it's also possible to add a "profile" to the WAPT agent when it's created and add a package to be installed as a dependency in that profile. Then you modify the package to specify a forced installation with a past force-install date.

But honestly, an OU package, an AD profile package, or two lines of script work just as well. :-)

Thank you for your replies.

This is a package used to retrieve the FusionInventory tag and use it for creating OUs.

I don't see how to add packages to an OU.

For now, I'll continue to install the dependency manually.

Thank you.

It's not complicated after all:
Create an application group in the private repository.
Silent installation via command line
: waptagent.exe /VERYSILENT /StartPackages=Group.

Thank you for your answers.
