instead of updating every time the Deployment Console receives a command from the
server, which can be excessive traffic in large enterprises.
Set global options for the Deployment Server system.
Delete history entries older than _____ days. Specify the number of days entries
are kept in the history before they are deleted. Enter any number between 1 and
10,000. If you don't select this option, log entries remain in the history.
Remove inactive computers after ____ days. Specify the number of days you want
to keep inactive computers in the Deployment Database before they are deleted. The
default value is 30 days, but any number between 1 and 10,000 is valid.
Synchronize display names with computer names. Automatically update the
displayed name of the managed computer names in the console when the client
computer name changes. If this option is not selected, changes to the computer names
are not reflected in the console. Synchronization is off by default. The names do not
have to be synchronized for the Deployment Server to manage the computer.
Reschedule failed image deployment jobs to immediately retry. Immediately
retry a failed image deployment job. The program continues to retry until the job
succeeds or until the job is cancelled.
Client/server file transfer port: _____. Specifies a static TCP port for file transfers
to the clients. The default value is 0 and causes the server to use a dynamic port. This
setting is useful if you have a firewall and need to use a specific port rather than a
dynamically assigned port.
Automatically replace expired trial licenses with available regular licenses. Lets
Deployment Solution automatically assign a permanent license to the computer after the
trial license expires.
Note
Be careful when using this option. Ensure that you do not give a permanent license to
computers you do not want to manage after their trial license expires.
Display Imaging status on console. Displays the status of the imaging job on the
Deployment Console.
Remote control ports. Specifies ports for using the Remote Control feature. You have
the option to enter a primary port address and a secondary port address (Optional).
Remove task passwords when exporting or copying jobs. Specifies that you must
remove the task password when exporting or copying jobs.
Display only computers and jobs the user has rights to manage. Displays only the
computers and jobs that the user has rights to manage. If this option is not selected, all
of the computers and jobs are displayed. If this option is selected when security is
enabled and the logged-on user has administrator rights, all computers and jobs are
displayed. However, if this option is selected when security is enabled and the logged-on
user does not have administrator rights, that user's view is restricted to see the jobs and
computers that the user only has rights to. A computer is displayed if the logged-on user
has any permission on the computer's group or if the computer's group inherits any
permissions from a parent folder.
