Tranquil IT Forum

Hello,

I'm looking for a solution to meet my needs.

The need:
To allow users to access an application catalog so they can select the applications they want on their workstations. Once selected, the application would install itself on the workstation.

Main constraint:
Multiple forests, without existing trust relationships.

Solutions considered:
Kace K1000,
SCCM
, WAPT.

My question:
I'd like to know if WAPT meets my needs, taking into account the major constraint of my project?

Thank you for your response.

The feature you are looking for on wapt is the waptselfservice feature
Users in the domain's waptselfservice group can install packages

Simply create a waptselfservice group on each forest

Apparently so.

Thank you for the reply.

Let's imagine that I install the server on forest A.
Then, by creating a waptselfservice group on forests B, C, D and E, is that enough to connect to the server on forest A?
Let me reiterate: forests do not communicate with each other at all.

The remote sites don't communicate with each other?

It's still possible, but it all depends on the operating mode you want; Wapt is very modular.

Can you describe the constraints of your project in more detail?
