Agent installation and package update

[hasop]

Hello,
I'm currently learning about WAPT and, despite the documentation, I can't find answers to these questions:
I installed the agent on a few test machines using FusionInventory's remote deployment (which we might eventually replace with WAPT if it proves successful).
Initially, I wanted to install it using waptdeploy, but an error calling a JSON URL prevented me from doing so.
So, I ran the command "waptagent.exe /VERYSILENT /MERGETASKS=""useWaptServer""" on the different machines, and it works fine. I can then deploy packages to these machines.

However, I don't have a notification icon on the client machines. Therefore, users don't have access to the features described in the documentation (running inventory updates, etc.).
What am I missing?

Furthermore, package installations only occur when I trigger them from the console. I would have liked to be able to give users control over the installation, and at worst, have it happen when the machine is shut down (or perhaps at a specific time of low activity, for example). This last point doesn't seem to be working. Is this related to the lack of a notification icon?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

I had the same problem as you about 20 minutes ago, and you're partly responsible for finding the solution.

Follow the tutorial, and instead of "--hash3FHGH°05°Y54...", use /VERYSILENT.

I had no problems installing or getting the information back.

Best regards,

Good morning,

The list of tasks to pass as arguments to waptdeploy is in the online documentation, but it's just a little further down the page: https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc-1.5/Configur ... waptdeploy

The option you are looking for is:

Code: Select all

autorunTray

This was pointed out to us last week at the Paris Open Source Summit; we're going to reorganize this page

Furthermore, package installations only occur when I initiate them from the console. I would have preferred to allow users to control the installation and, at the very least, have it run when the machine is shut down (or perhaps at a specific time of low activity). This last point doesn't seem to be working. Is this related to the lack of a notification icon?

No, this point is related to waptexit.exe, the script that runs when the machine shuts down, only on workstations Windows Pro/Enterprise

By any chance, are the machines equipped with Windows Home?

I tried installing again using wapdeploy and here's the complete result:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\XXXXXXXX>"D:\Downloads\waptdeploy.exe" --minversion=1.3.13.0 --wait
=15 --waptsetupurl="http://sw-wapt-test/wapt/waptagent.exe" --tasks="autorunTray
,installService,installredist2008,autoUpgradePolicy" --hash=30e783xxxxxxxxxxxe6
WAPT version:
WAPT required version: 1.3.13.0
Wapt agent path: C:\Users\XXXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\waptagent.exe
Wget new waptagent from http://sw-wapt-test/wapt/waptagent.exe
SHA256 hash of downloaded setup file: 30e783xxxxxxxxxxxe6
OK : Hash of waptagent match expected hash.
Got version: 1.3.13.0
Unable to speak with waptservice... continue (Unable to download: http://127.0.0
.1:8088/tasks.json HTTP Status: 0)

Install ...
Launching C:\Users\XXXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\waptagent.exe /VERYSILENT /MERGET
ASKS=""autorunTray,installService,installredist2008,autoUpgradePolicy""
Install OK : 1.3.13.0
Cleanup...

Because there is an error, the return code should not be 0 and is therefore considered a failure. However, the agent appears to be running, but there is no notification icon.

Furthermore, we are using Windows 7 Pro.
How can I check if waptexit is properly installed?

Could the problem causing the absence of a notification icon also prevent waptexit from executing?

Thank you for your help

Any ideas?

Because there is an error, the return code should not be 0 and is therefore considered a failure. However, the agent appears to be running, but there is no notification icon.

The Wapttray simply creates a shortcut in:

Code: Select all

c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ 

which points to: c:\wapt\wapttray.exe


Furthermore, we are using Windows 7 Pro.
How can I check if waptexit is properly installed?

If you go to:

Code: Select all

gpedit.msc

Then in:

Code: Select all

Configuration Ordinateur -> Paramètres Windows -> Script -> Arrêt du system

If wapt exit does not appear, it did not work

https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/Frequent-pro ... -lance-pas

Could the problem causing the absence of a notification icon also prevent waptexit from running?

It doesn't work the same way, so no.

I'm going to test the wapttray with waptdeploy; it's been a long time since I've tested it

After checking, everything is OK (start menu and script stopped).
The notification icon only appears after restarting the computer.

I think the error message is preventing the icon from displaying during installation.

Thank you for your help.
