Hello,

I'm deploying WAPT Enterprise 2.3, and I've noticed something: during manual installation of the agent on Windows 11 (same on Windows 10 22H2), there's no link to the console in the Start menu,

only a link to the self-service portal.

I can access it via the icon in the taskbar, but that option needs to be enabled in the agent. :D

Also, during manual installation, you can specify (I think) whether or not you want the icon, like you can during a deployment via GPO?

And is it possible to prevent the console from being installed for regular users?

I'm going to do some testing on the GPO deployment; I haven't done it yet.
A related question: in the GPO installation documentation, it says, "We recommend adding waptdeploy.exe to the startup and shutdown scripts in the GPO." Why is that? :)

Thank you

, Commander

Okay, it's progressing, the GPO installation is working.
Regarding the icon (the Wapt system tray, actually), I was apparently missing a parameter in the GPO; adding "--tasks=autorunTray" should fix it.

I still have one thing to resolve: during my first test, the PC didn't appear in the console; I had to force it using Wapt-Get Register.
This is probably because I configured the authentication mode to "without Kerberos but with strong authentication" during the server post-installation, so I need to find where to change this option.

The more I delve into it, the more impressive the capabilities of your tool become, well done! However, the documentation... well,
it could use a bit of a rewrite. :D
