Rollout server page parameters
The agent running on the rollout server has an additional page, the Rollout Server page. This page cannot be accessed through the regular agent interface. To log on to this page you must either have an admin logon, the system login of the master computer, or a login specifically defined by the admin. This page is only accessible via a browser through the following address: http://<rollout server name> :<rollout server port number>/rollout , for example scotty:1611/rollout .
For our first test this is the master and you can use the predefined login admin with no password.
The rollout server page provides the following information about all existing rollouts that are defined as being available on the respective rollout server:
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Rollout Name | The name of the rollout as defined at its configuration in the console. |
Rollout Type | The installation operation executed by the rollout (that is, if it is an agent installation, reinstallation, or uninstall). |
Operating System | The operating system type and version of the target devices. |
Auto-extractable Name | This is the name of the rollout package – the actual installation package of the agent as defined in the console. This entry is a direct link to the location of the package from which you can download it or launch it through the use of your mouse buttons. |
Publication Date | This date box appears the date and time at which the package was made available on this page for download. |
On Windows systems (since Vista) if the user that is intended to download and run Rollout file is not member of Administrator group on the machine (for example) it will fail silently (no UAC prompt).
To make sure Rollout file is run with success you have to instruct user that he should "Run as administrator".
