Hello,

Sometimes my users are away on trips and the Windows OS on their laptop gets corrupted and needs to be reloaded.

Could the ' preserve winpe partition ' partition be used to reload the laptop remotely, or some other way?

Yes, that was very strange, I'm not sure how things got so bad so fast.

I ended up downloaded a new demo VM and starting from scratch.

Hello, I was trying to configure a wsusoffline setup, so I added the 'wsusoffline' opsiadmin user to the wsusoffline group. After that I got a' BackendPermissionDeniedError' every time I tried to log in to the GUI configd: from /var/log/opsi/opsiconfigd/ [5] [Oct 05 18:52:36] Application 'opsi confi...

Hello, My Product Configuration tab doesn't show software such as 7-zip, PDFCreator, etc. Should I add 'http://download.uib.de/opsi_stable/products/contribute/full-package' to my /etc/opsi/opsi-product-updater.conf ? If so, what should the syntax be? Is there a list of software repositories I can ch...

We have about 10 new laptops that come into our shop every week. We need to install Windows 7/Windows 10 on them, applications, and Windows Updates before sending them out to our users who work from home. If I download the Windows Updates straight from the internet it's currently it's taking a few h...

Hello, What is the best way to deploy Windows Updates? Is it best to deploy them with opsi or WSUS or a combination of both? Would a Squid server running doing transparent caching at the network level be of any help? It seems like a lot Windows updates, such as IE, need a lot of reboots, especially ...

OK, thanks. In this scenario we would use PQDDeploy to deploy software instead of opsi. Does the WinPE contact the opsi server during installation in any way other than reading and writing to the opsi_depot fileshare? Is it possible to have the WinPE access opsi_depot share directly off of a NAS, su...

It seems like an unattended opsi Windows install consists of these steps: 1. PXE boot into Linux environment 2. WinPE image is generated on the fly, all needed drivers are included in the generated image 3. System reboots into WinPE, then begins an unattended Windows install (using OS installation f...

Hello, If possible, we'd prefer not have a server in each location. Is it possible to host an opsi server in AWS, and configure it to use a DFS share, distributed to each location, for storing the OS and driver files? Or, is it possible to be able to use opsi as a standalone live CD/USB like clonezi...

Hello,

We'd like to use opsi for unattended Windows installs, but we're still using PDQ Deploy for software deployment.

Is there a way to configure opsi so that it doesn't install the opsi-agent after install?
