Max Simultaneous Client Connection

ApeX

What's the recommended number of Max Simultaneous Client Connections for the com server endpoint management settings? Do you have a fast rule based on number of cpu/ram/bandwith?

Thanks

The name is a little misleading. Technically the clients are always connected, what it really means is how many can process a policy at the same time. For example, if you have a policy that involves a large file transfer, you don't want them all hitting at the same time. This setting setting just places them in a queue, when one finishes the next one starts. So there isn't really an ideal setting, it depends a lot on hard drive speed, and network on the server. I would lean more towards a low number than a high one.

Thanks for the reply!

Were just figuring that out! Makes sense now.

We had it set to 0, can't recall if that's the default. We deploy a lot of software after initial imaging depending on the use of the computer/student lab. We have a base image and deploy software separately based on group membership. We image 5 machines at once via smb which has helped the cpu load compared to http. Once they're finished imaging they move onto the software install phase and another 5 start imaging via smb.

We've been observing large CPU spikes on check-ins, hopefully that can be randomized in a future release.

Thanks again!
