Hello everyone,

Julien, 27 years old,
I am currently tasked with testing a WAPT installation on a small network of 30 machines (XP, Win7 32 and 64) before potentially deploying it to a larger network. The server is a Windows 7 32-bit workstation with an i3 3.3GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, and a gigabit connection.

I have a few quick questions:

• Some machines never show up in my console. Do you know why? (Note: the Windows firewall is disabled on all machines.)
• In my interface, some entries appear in "TO-UPGRADE" status, and when I select the row, all the rows on the right are OK except for one row containing the Hostname. I've already tried updating the row manually, and that works without any problem. But a few seconds later, the row reverts to "TO-UPGRADE"

  

  TO-UPGRADE Error

• Is it possible to add a post manually in the administrator interface?
• Can we create groups of machines in the administrator interface to organize the different workstations?

Here are all my questions to start with; I'm sure others will come with time.
Thank you for your time and help.

Hello and welcome

Can you do this for unregistered customers?


This allows you to restart a recording and, if that doesn't work, to see what went wrong

Regarding the upgrade, the image shows that workstation sta101-72-16 needs to install upd-autoclean.because it has just detected a version change in its machine package. Running "Installing updates on this workstation" should switch the workstation between an error state and a successful status

Thank you for this answer. I will do the test

Hello Julien,

Yes, that's all you need:

1. Go to the "Package Group" tab and create a group.
2. Next, in the inventory, select the computers and right-click to "add package group"
3. Right-click on a column name and add "groups"
4. All that remains is to click on a column name to sort by name

Thank you for your help. I'm starting to get the hang of the software and it perfectly meets my expectations; creating packages is also really simple.

One more quick question. Is it possible to migrate all my clients from the test server to my new production server?

For example, by defining the link to the new server in one place and forcing the update via the old server?

Is it possible to migrate all my clients from the test server to my new production server?

* Simply update your wapt entry in DNS with the new IP address of the new server.
* Do not regenerate the private/public key pair to avoid having to resign the packages.
* Copy the machine packages and software packages from the old server to the production server
c:\wapt\waptserver\repository\wapt
c:\wapt\waptserver\repository\wapt-host
* Regarding the MongoDB database, there is no need to copy the MongoDB database from one server to another, since it only contains inventory information that the machines will automatically upload sooner or later (you will just have to wait a little while before everything is back).

Indeed, my test machines are successfully back in operation after 48 hours.

Now a new problem that apparently a lot of people are encountering.
When creating my GPO, I followed your instructions: But when I start my machine, nothing happens.

So I found someone on another site saying that you had to use a batch file containing From this point on the installation does indeed work, but if it takes more than 3 minutes (e.g., remote sites) it quits the installation before the end, and if the installation takes less than 3 minutes, the user must wait.
Is there a solution?

THANKS

Hello,

I'm also having trouble with GPOs. When I manually run waptdeploy, it tries to search either on my domain "wapt.samdom.com/wapt/waptdeploy.exe" or sometimes on "wapt/wapt/waptdeploy.exe," even though my actual path is societe.com/wapt/waptdeploy.exe.

I can help you run just the script; please add a screenshot of your GPO.

Regards
