Opsi-client Timeout over wireless
Verfasst: 24 Jun 2014, 00:32
Hello All:
I'm still trying to track down a gremlin in our opsi configuration. Namely it has to do with our wireless laptops. I'm the only IT person at a small school district in rural Alaska and opsi has been a lifesaver when it comes to re-imaging computers (for whatever reason). However, I have not been able to successfully use it to push out updates to software. I think I've finally tracked down the problem but could use some advice on how to resolve it.
All of our Windows-based laptops use Radius to authenticate on the wireless network. It appears that the opsi-client launches before Radius can authenticate and thus it does not see the opsi server. In fact, it looks like the networking waits until the opsi-client is finished before authenticating.
Is there a way to confirm that this is what is indeed happening -- and if so -- how would I either change the priority (loading order) of the opsi-client or change the timeout it waits to communicate? Anyone else experience anything like this?
Thanks,
Brent Bain
