Hello,
I encountered this problem in another forum post. It's now fixed and working.
Now, is it possible to automatically force (via cron, etc.) the search for Active Directory groups on workstations so I don't have to right-click?
Thanks in advance,
Florian

Yes, there is a script for that:
https://github.com/tranquilit/WAPT/blob ... l_hosts.py

Copy this file to the Wapt directory of your management machine.
and run the script

Code: Select all

c:\wapt\waptpython c:\wapt\update_all_hosts.py -c %LOCALAPPDATA%\waptconsole\waptconsole.ini

You can also add a "base" package to all your machines using the same method.

Hello and thank you.
For your information, I had to modify the get_computer_groups function as follows (see https://github.com/tranquilit/WAPT/comm...4ad1c1dcb1):

Code: Select all

def get_computer_groups(computername):
    """Try to finc the computer in the Active Directory
        and return the list of groups
    """
    groups = []
    computer = active_directory.find_computer(computername)
    if computer:
        computer_groups = computer.memberOf
        if computer_groups:
            if not isinstance(computer_groups,(tuple,list)):
                computer_groups = [computer_groups]
            for group in computer_groups:
                # extract first component of group's DN
                cn = group.split(',')[0].split('=')[1]
                groups.append(cn.lower())
    return groups

to which I added the conversion to lowercase.
Good day,

Thanks for the feedback , I'll push it to GitHub.

Hello,
For your information, in version 1.3.12.13, the function to import AD groups as a dependency fails if the case is not identical (forced to lowercase in WapT, which is not the case in our AD).
Could you please ignore case sensitivity in the `add_ads_groups` function of the `waptdevutils.py` package?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards,

Good morning,
Following the update to v1.6.2.7, this script no longer works. Is there an equivalent for the latest versions?
Thank you in advance

Good morning,

Finally, by slightly modifying the code of the "update_all_hosts.py" script, it works (in v1.7.3.5):
