OPSI patch management

Beitrag von vmtech »

Hi,
Is is possible to push services from Server instead of pulling services from client machine. Also just wanted to know is it possible to deploy Windows7 updates from OPSI server.

Thanks
VMTech

Hi,

yes

You have to 'fire' the 'event_on_demand' by the management interface or from command line (or script) using the opsi-admin tool.

Hi,

I tried the following

Right Click on the client and selected "fire on_demand event on selected clients" option. But pop-up gets closed immediately and I am unable to see what is it exactly.

I could send message to client machine using "Show popup message on selected client".

Could you please suggest something.

Thanks

I had that problem when I moved my OPSI server to a different IP and subnet and somehow screwed things up.

Try this first:

Code: Alles auswählen

opsi-setup --init-current-config
opsi-setup --auto-configure-samba
opsi-setup --set-rights
opsi-setup --cleanup-backend
/etc/init.d/opsiconfd restart
/etc/init.d/opsipxeconfd restart

Hello vmtech,

the easiest way probably is to buy a subscription and use the packages we provide. ;)

Otherwise you could build your own opsi package containing the updates and install them like you did with other software.


Kind regards

Niko

Hi Niko,

How do I subscribe? Whom should I contact? Also could you please let me know how to create my own OPSI package for Windows Security patches/updates.

Regards,
VMtech

Hello VMtech,

please contact info@uib.de if you want to buy a subscription.
If you buy an subscription you will get all the information needed to configure you opsi-product-updater to download and update your subscriptions.

If you want to create your own packages this follows the creation of your own products (get the installer and create your installation routines in OPSI).


With kind regards

Niko

Hi,

How do I add client to OPSI server. Also wanted to know is it possible to add client from Server itself without installing client package on client machine. S that I can install softwares and patches directly from server without any manual interaction with client.

Thanks in advance

VMTech

Hello vmtech,

you can add clients to the server via the Configed. There is a button (Computer with a small plus-icon) to add a client. But this does not yet makes the client have the agent installed.
What you will need to do to deploy the agent to an client is described in the Getting Started at this section.


With kind regards

Niko
