Hello,

We have some computer labs and put them to install software while the computers were offline in waptconsole.

When users turn on the computer and log in to the domain, does the waptserver automatically install this package or should I select the computers online and click "Apply upgrades"? Have a schedule for auto upgrade to the new package on offline computer!?

When the desktop lights up the next morning, it will look up the WAPT Server for updates. The WAPT agent will find updates from the previous day and start downloding the updates to local cache. It will not install the updates right away.

It will then, as intended, wait for the upgrade command to trigger. There is never a good time during the day to upgrade because upgraded applications will be killed mid-process, so your users will complain. For you, the best time becomes the end of the day when the desktops shut down.

Your best options if you don't want to bother your users in the morning or midday, when they need their computers most are :

- do your software and configuration updates during the day when computers are up, this way the computers will update during the day, then upgrade at shutdown

- plan a WakeOnLAN scenario so that you have a scheduled task planned during the night that will wakeup/update/upgrade/shutdown the desktops.

Either way, the computers will be ready for your users the next morning.

I get it!! :D

Can I do all these tasks (wakeup/update/upgrade/shutdown) with wapt?
