Hello,
Since the last update to 2.6.1.17705, deployment via GPO no longer works.
The script starts correctly at startup.
The waptagent.exe software is downloaded to c:\windows\temp\waptdeploy_xxx.tmp and launches successfully.

However, it remains running continuously and nothing happens.
The C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt directory is not created.

Killing the process and manually launching the waptagent.exe program allows the wizard to start and the installation to complete successfully.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Thank you for your help

, Edouard

Good evening Edourad,

I'm experiencing the exact same issue following yesterday's 2.6.1.17705 update. The GPO Machine\Scripts\Startup\waptdeploy.exe (with the correct settings // tested outside the GPO) launches but fails. The waptdeploy.exe and waptagent.exe processes are visible but inactive (?).

Previously, in version 2.6.1.17472, there were no issues [I believe the GPO's waptdeploy.exe was version 2.6.0.xxx; I only changed the hash during the intermediate updates...].

It's not a major problem for us in the short term. We have other things on our plate => a workaround with a line of script to install the agent using /verysilent when deploying new machines, while we wait for Tranquil IT to take a look.

Good morning

When you throw it by hand, does something appear?

Hello,

I'm experiencing the same deployment issue via GPO (startup script type) with waptdeploy.exe since this version.
The latest version, 2.6.1.17765, also doesn't seem to resolve the problem.

When I manually run waptdeploy directly on the client, the installation works. ;)

Have a good day.

When launched manually, this successfully results in the installation of the service:

Hello,
we have exactly the same problem since upgrading to version 2.6.1.17765; it's impossible to deploy the agent via GPO...

Hello everyone,

Do you have the default ACL on the TEMP directory?

Code: Select all

c:\Windows>icacls c:\windows\temp
c:\windows\temp BUILTIN\Utilisateurs:(CI)(S,WD,AD,X)
                BUILTIN\Administrateurs:(OI)(CI)(F)
                AUTORITE NT\Système:(OI)(CI)(F)
                CREATEUR PROPRIETAIRE:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)

1 fichiers correctement traités ; échec du traitement de 0 fichiers
Second question: what antivirus software do you have on your network?

There has been some hardening of the waptdeploy component, and it seems to be causing problems in certain cases. But we haven't yet found the pattern.

Sincerely,

Denis

Hi again Renaud,

to get you unblocked, you can use the waptdeploy version from the previous wapt version: https://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/releases/ ... -092e11fc/

This should resolve the issue while we investigate what's causing the blockage in the various reported cases.

In the meantime, if you could test on a machine with the latest version of waptdeploy, disabling "withsecure", that would be a useful test.

Regards,

Denis
