Hello everyone, first of all, please excuse my lack of experience in this area.
Our company has just decided to switch from GLPI to WAPT. Locally, there were no problems, but after some initial difficulties using the software, we managed to get it working. Now we would like to extend it to all our offices, which are spread across several cities.
I suggested keeping the WAPT server on Windows and following this guide https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-replica ... index.html to set up the remote repositories on Debian. However, my superiors refused, demanding a Windows-only solution.
Do you have any advice for me?

I've made some progress in my research; is there an equivalent to "tis-waptrepo" for Windows? It allows you to create a repository on Debian, but I haven't found an equivalent for Windows.

Hello,

some users are setting up remote repositories with DFS and IIS, and it works very well!

Yes, it was while trying to reinstall a second server to act as a backup that I realized how easy it was to use IIS to solve my problem. Thanks again for your help.
