Hello Cubert,
I come back to you with some feedback.
Regarding, the mass installer :
- I don't see any agent in the left field, did I miss a setting ? (s1.png)
- I noticed the text when hovering the Mass Installer icon was the same than the text of the Schedule icon (this one is not a "blocking" issue of course). (s2.png)
Regarding the "Chocolatey For Automate Service" script :
- 2 lines in the script are problematic with the actual chocolatey instructions (s3.png)
The "-version" parameter has to be used as "--version". An error is thrown when using "-version" and the version is not detected correctly.
The "-source" parameter was also changed for "--source" for consistency but both are working fine.
In a more general way, there is a very interesting note in chocolatey manual (choco --help), about the scripting best practices and the deprecated use of some commands. Maybe the automate script could be updated to reflect those changes, better be ready before the release version 2.0.0
.
Finally, I have a suggestion for two new feature requests :
1- Would it be possible to have a similar menu than the "Update Scheduler" but for installation (initial deployment).
The scenario would be the following :
When a new agent joins an already set-up Client, a list of pre-selected software are automatically installed on this agent.
Right now, we can manually mass install a software on several agents, but we would like to avoid the manual initial deployment of the software for every new agent that joins Automate.
2- Is there a way to use Automate groups in this plugin ? For example a way to map a list of applications on a Automate group would allow the previous feature request to be more "flexible" by not beeing applied only all the client agents.
Thank you for the support.
Let me know if you need any more info or if you need me to open a new thread.
Regards,
