Hello,
I'm writing to explain my problem:
I installed Wapt Server on a Debian 9.9 machine, and WaptSetup on a Windows Server.
I configured the deployment using a Group Policy Object (GPO).

The issue is that I tested the deployment using this method:
- From the command prompt (cmd): I directly launched the GPO and got an error:
`wapt version: 1.7.5.6177
wapt required version 1.7.5.6177
Nothing to do
Update host status on the server`.

As indicated, the server is running Debian 9.9 and the installed version is 1.7.
When I add `--force` to the end of my command, the GPO launches, but I don't see any improvement.

There are no updates in Wapt Server, on my Debian machine, and no logs of communication with any IP address other than the one already known.

Another problem is that there was a server running Windows 1.13.13 that crashed, and the workstations remained on that version.
The problem is that computers running version 1.13.13 refuse to install version 1.7.4...

How can I fix this? In version 1.13.13, the PC and group were registered under wapt-host; in version 1.7.4, where are the PCs registered?

Sincerely,
William

Your WAPT agent is apparently already running the latest version, 1.7.5.6177

Code: Select all

wapt version : 1.7.5.6177

Yes, because your WaptSetup must be version 1.7.5.6177 and your local agent is also version 1.7.5.6177

The problem is that the workstations still running version 1.13.13 refuse to install version 1.7.4...
Note that the procedure for upgrading from version 1.3 to 1.6 or higher is different!

In the same place! Note that we are only talking about the machine package for groups and software here. Not the inventory!

Can you give us a general overview of the history because I don't understand everything that has been done!

Hello,
thank you for your reply.

On Windows Server 2008 RC, I had a WAPT server (version 1.13.13). The server was crashing, and we could no longer add any ".exe" files.

I uninstalled the 1.13.13 server and installed the 1.7.5* server, but I'm getting error messages.
I tested it on other servers and got

the same error. I also tested it on Debian, and there were no errors.

My problems are:
- Since installing server 1.7.4, when I install the agent myself on the PCs, it works.
- Via Group Policy, when I run the command through Command Prompt as administrator, I get an error:
`wapt version: 1.7.5.6177
wapt required version 1.7.5.6177
Nothing to do
Update host status on the server`
. When I run the same command with `--force` at the end, it runs correctly, but I get no response from the WAPT server.

I just saw that it requires the waptagent.sha256 file to be present. I created a GPO to create this file on each workstation.

My other question is, where is the PC inventory stored, please?

Sincerely,
William

Hello,
I've solved my problem. My GPO was configured to install at startup, then I switched to Shoutdown, and the WAPT agent installed...

New problem: the agent is installing in a loop!
That is to say, it installs every time I shut down the PC.

Another question: I don't know if I misconfigured my agent or not, but the installation process isn't consistent;
some agents require a password and others don't.

How so?

Could you specify the error you made and how you resolved it, so everyone can benefit from your experience?

Thank you and well done.
