Question
How to distribute SysAdmin client to some users via AutoUpdate, but not others?
Answer
Create separate AutoUpdate directory & path for those users:
- Connect via SSH to server as voyager user.
cd /m1/voyager/clients/autoupdate
cp -pr voyager
sysadmin
Result : a new AutoUpdate directory called (in this example) sysadmin (/m1/voyager/clients/autoupdate/sysadmin) which is a copy of voyager (/m1/voayger/clients/autoupdate/voyager) AutoUpdate directory.cd sysadmin
- Edit
update.txt
to include\SysAdmin.exe
and\SysAdmin.chm
- Ensure
SysAdmin.exe
andSysAdmin.chm
are in sysadmin directory. cd ../voyager
and ensure SysAdmin files are not included in update.txt for other users.- Set
[Upgrade]
stanza in voyager.ini file on the PCs that will receive SysAdmin client so that it points to the new directory:
[Upgrade]
Voyager=http://<user>:<password>@<server IP>:7099/autoupdate/sysadmin/
With increased security of Windows systems, AutoUpdate has become increasingly problematic to implement and support. In some environments it no longer works. Support recommends you consider different options/methods for installing new clients.
