Wapt Client Update

[cedar2]

Hello,

I'm trying to update the Wapt-get.ini file on all the workstations in my network to include `
allow_cancel_upgrade=0`, which allows me to force updates when the PC is shut down.

To do this, I modify the .ini file directly on the server and then generate a client via the console, which automatically creates a new private repository called "client upgrade". However, when I deploy it to the client PCs, the Wapt-get.ini file isn't modified, and the user can still cancel the updates.

Any ideas?

Hello,

the WaptAgent doesn't include this configuration, or you need to modify the file... c:\wapt\waptsetup\waptsetup.iss Then regenerate an agent.

The simplest solution is still to push the configuration after installation; here's an example package that does it:

Thank you so much!

This is exactly what I needed; I hadn't seen this package.

Thank you!

--- > I tested your package before deploying it, it works, but I don't have "allow_cancel_upgrade=0" but "notify_user=0" in the wapt-get.ini file. Is that the same thing? This "notify_user" doesn't appear in any documentation on the site.

Good morning,

"allow_cancel_uprade" is not defined in the list of attributes of wapt-conf-policy:

Code: Select all

print('Modify max_gpo_script_wait')
inifile_writestring(WAPT.config_filename,'global','max_gpo_script_wait',180)

print('Modify Preshutdowntimeout')
inifile_writestring(WAPT.config_filename,'global','pre_shutdown_timeout',180)

print('Disable Hyberboot')
inifile_writestring(WAPT.config_filename,'global','hiberboot_enabled',0)

print('Disable Notify User')
inifile_writestring(WAPT.config_filename,'global','notify_user',0)

However, you can modify the package to define it.

Code: Select all

print('Disable Upgrade Cancellation')
inifile_writestring(WAPT.config_filename,'global','allow_cancel_upgrade',0)

That should meet your expectations.

knowing that this "notify_user" does not appear in any documentation on the site.

Indeed, it is not in the WAPT documentation; this will be rectified soon

Sincerely,

Alexander

Thank you, yes, that's exactly what I did.

I was misled by the package description which indicated that "allow_cancel_upgrade = 0" was set, without bothering to check the script beforehand.

Thank you very much for your quick response!
