Hi,
I am a new user of OPSI. I installed it on a Debian Jessie, and now I start testing how it works, following the getting started documentation. I am currently on the chapter 5, first steps.
For using opsi-deploy-client-agent, it is written that the requirements are:
an open C$ share
an open admin$ share
an administrative account
For the 1st line I suppose that it means that i must share C: rw, for the 3rd, it's easy to understand, but what means open admin$ share? Do I have to create a directory with the same name of the administrator of the machine?

Thx in advance

Hi,

Those shares are there by default but hidden (that's what the $ at the end indicates). Many system administrators tend to disable them.
The easiest way to try if it works is to connect to such a share through your Windows Explorer.


Bye

Thx a lot for the explanation about the $. It's more or less 20 years i use only linux (i remember my first distribution: Kheops, Éditions du Soleil) so i really have some lacks about win OS.

Anyway i read somewhere on the web that winexe is no more supported by the opsi team, so i dropped out and used the other method, service_setup.cmd.

I still have some problems, but as i launched it before knowing about the fact that C:\WINDOWS must be shared (if i am not mistaken) i'll probably reinstall the opsi-client before opening a new thread.

Thx again!

We still support doing this but we're not providing binaries for winexe anymore. You can use the ones provided in repos of your distribution or have to build your own.


Kind regards
