Master Return Codes lists. This is useful if you want to use the return code again.
Click OK.
8. If the code you added already exists, a message dialog displays the return code and
asks if you want to replace it. Click Yes to replace the return code, and click No to
return to the Add Return Code dialog.
9. Select the Select a job option from the Default drop-down list to select a job to
run when a default condition is reached. The Select a Job dialog appears, letting
you select an existing job that runs if the task returns a failed system return code
(non-zero) or a return code not defined as a custom return code.
Note
The status of the tasks executed in a job also appears in the history of a computer.
Sample jobs are installed with each Deployment Server system, letting you quickly
modify or add parameters, or to run the sample jobs as they are. During installation,
jobs are automatically imported from the samples.bin file to the Deployment Server
system where they can be viewed in the Samples folder in the Jobs area of the
Deployment Console. Click each job and identify its features in the Description field of
the Details pane.
Jobs in each folder marked with an asterisk (*) require input parameters or other minor
modifications added before running on your system. These modifications let you add
parameters to the job, such as user name and password or other required data for the
job to be functional. Jobs requiring input parameters or customizing do not function
properly if you do not edit the job with the information specific to your environment.
All files without an asterisk (*) can be used to perform the identified functions without
modification. However, if the job conditions are not met or are not consistent with the
computer type, you may get an error. Example: If the Repair Office XP job runs on a
computer without MSOffice XP, you get an error when running the job.
Note
When upgrading versions of Deployment Solution, we recommend that you copy and
rename modified sample jobs to avoid overwriting by new sample jobs.
DAgent is the default agent for the Windows platforms.
You can implement the following features in the Security tab:
Hide the DAgent icon in the system tray of the managed computer. You then need
to run DagentConfig.exe as an administrator to view the administrator properties.
Limit users on the managed computer to access the administrator properties only if
they enter the set password. If the password is entered incorrectly three times, a 3-
minute lock-out time period begins and an appropriate error message displays.
You can also uninstall DAgent.
