Client Application Manager

Post by Cubert »

Main Client View - Maintained Software Titles
You will find a tab on the Client Console called Chocolatey For Automate that will allow you to enable and manage each client individually. Select Workstations and or Servers checkboxes to get started and to populate the agent lists. Once you enable some agents the basics will begin. Over the next few hours the agents will be tested for the Chocolatey framework and installed if missing. The agents will go through a complete scan and if any software installed matches the searches the they will be checked for updates and updates applied if needed. Allow up to 24 hours for this to fully complete across client.

Each client has a Suspend button which will stop the automated processes from running on the agents under that client. This will prevent any scripted functions from operating on client manually as well.
