Hello,
1) I've noticed that my GPO for deploying the Wapt (Enterprise) agent isn't working on clients connected via VPN (due to lockdown restrictions).
I tried creating a GPO for when the machine shuts down. Then I deleted that GPO and created one for when the machine starts up, but without success.
I saw on the Wapt website that the agent can be deployed using a scheduled task. However, I also have to use GPOs to launch this task, so that won't solve the problem.

2) Have you made any progress on integrating tishelp with the Wapt Enterprise console?

Thank you and have a good day,
m.

Yes, because a GPO runs regularly (2 hours), so it will eventually work when the VPN is UP (I did it yesterday on VPN clients).
I create a scheduled task GPO that runs every hour and I check the box, run if a schedule is missed.

We have since discovered the Mesh Central tool, so we are now working on integrating it directly into Wapt:
https://www.meshcommander.com/meshcentral2

I created a GPO that deploys the agent via Waptdeploy. This GPO has a "security filter," meaning a group to which I add the PCs that will benefit from the GPO.
However, I've noticed that it works fine for the PCs in the lab but not for the PCs in the virtual machine. I don't have an explanation for this at the moment.

So, I'm going to do as you suggested: "I'll create a scheduled task GPO that runs every hour and check the box to run if a scheduled task is missed."
I don't see any other solution

.

I would add that the other GPOs work without any problems whether the PC is on VPN or in the lab

Several things to check:

you can add the following parameter to the waptdeploy command: --waptsetupurl=http://srvwapt.mydomain.lan/wapt/waptagent.exe
https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-configu ... waptdeploy

I also sometimes encounter problems with scheduled task GPOs.
In the scheduled task, under "Use the following user account to run this task":
You can directly enter the SID S-1-5-18 instead of specifying "system".

You can then verify with gpresult that the GPO is successful.

I create a scheduled task GPO that runs every hour and I check the box, run if a schedule is missed.

Good morning,
What options or properties do you adjust to prevent the scheduled task from re-executing once it has succeeded?
Or do we consider it not a problem to reinstall the agent every hour?

Good morning,
Naturally I did try with the parameter: --waptsetupurl=http://srvwapt.mydomain.lan/wapt/waptagent.exe
Following the instructions on the Tranquil-it website. But it's no better.
The PGO seems to work fine because I tried it with a .bat file that also creates a file in addition to installing Waptagent. The problem is that the agent doesn't install.

By default waptdeploy Wapt will not reinstall if it is already installed in the correct version. Therefore, there is no problem with the task running regularly

By default , waptdeploy does not reinstall wapt if wapt is already installed in the correct version.

Cool, thanks!

The PCs in question underwent a manual installation and uninstallation of Waptagent. That might be the problem... a corrupted Windows registry, perhaps due to an improper uninstallation?
