OCS-NG-Windows-Agent-Setup

Question

Hello,

To deploy the agent via "Deployment Tool", I have to specify Agent's setup file.

My problem is that I don't know how to build this agent.
It should not be complicated.... once we have the information.

Could you help me ?

Thanks

Answer 1

hy, just download the packager and the client

https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/Packager-for-Windows/releases

https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/WindowsAgent/releases (not the portable version)
Then, run packager and setup your agent parameters like: (you will have a gui driven wizard to do this)
/SERVER=http://yourserver/ocsinventory /S /NOW /NO_SYSTRAY /NOSPLASH /PROXY_TYPE=0

click no when asked for help with psexec

Choose you agent setup file (you must select all exe files in file chooser)
Now continue with the wizard to create your package
You will have a package which you can run via right mouse button (run as admin) on a client machine.

If you want to deploy software you must also have a certificate which you can include into you own created package with the Ocspackager.
