@theopenem_admin I apologize for the delay. I was able to get the autodiscover and everything to work now seemingly. It registers the computers and gets up to the point where I can just about deploy an image... I can see the task in the webgui... I can see the computer listed with the custom name I gave it under imageonly under computers... yet I cannot see any of our images to be able to deploy them to this offsite computer. Any idea why? It just says no images instead of the 5 or 6 we have present.

@theopenem_admin I'll load one up in a few minutes and post a screenshot. Supposing I load one in a location that doesn't have a dhcp server.. could I run a portable one like the one you use in your tutorial videos without screwing anything else up on the network... perhaps create a little subnetwork at this location just for imaging purposes? Is there one that's better than others? (dhcp server)

@theopenem_admin

Seems to be set correctly. I just can't seem to image from an offsite location via usb.. It tells me the imaging client isn't available and it doesn't auto assign an ip. Maybe i'll double check my boot iso?

@theopenem_admin Can you tell me specifically what I need to set within our firewall? Port numbers or special forwarding of any kind? Sorry for the novice request.. I have a network guy that I rely on, I'm more on the server/data integrity end of things. I appreciate you.

Hello,

I am wanting to allow a team member who is off site in another state to utilize our already uploaded images to deploy windows images to computers at that location. They can be connected via cat cable to a fiber connection but they will not be on the same lan. Is there anything special that I need to adjust to allow this? My instance of the open em is already accessible to the outside and this person uses it to manage our endpoints occasionally.. what about opening any ports? Will she need a dhcp server at her location or can ip addresses be assigned manually? What’s the best way to go about this… it’s also my understanding that she cannot upload images unless she’s on the same lan… only deploy them. Thank you I’m advance for the assistance.

@theopenem_admin Excellent. Thank you again for your response and assistance!

@theopenem_admin Would the same apply for endpoints marked as archived? Safe to delete these as well? Seems like they are duplicates and there are computers with the same name also listed as endpoints with a status of Provisioned.

@theopenem_admin Found a reference to the image already exists on com server two log. I logged on to the secondary server at 4.40 and renamed the folder that contained the images. Added a .old to the name of the folder. Images were recreated on this server and all is replicating normally now. Thank you!

Hello, I was hoping you can tell me if some of my settings are incorrect which may be causing my images to fail to replicate to my second server. I took your advice and just shared the toems storage from the first server and used that as the SMB share rather than utilizing an external hard drive. So I have one Toems server at 4.39 and another at 4.40. As you suggested, I have them both running within the same cluster to harness both resources but it seems the images aren't replicating consistently... maybe I have one of these settings wrong. I will post pictures. Also, any suggestions on a how to share the database so that if the first server fails, the second server will automatically pickup as a failover without any downtime both for communicating with endpoints/deploying packages and imaging computers? Thanks for the help as always. TheOpenEM is really a fantastic product! Keep up the great work.

Lastly... when I look at all my endpoints... I see a ton listed as image only with provision dates of 1/1/0001 and 12:00AM... can I just delete all these or is there a way to prevent these to have a more true number of endpoints so I don't have a bunch of empties/blanks? Thanks!

@theopenem_admin Ahh I see. Ok which should they be for my WinPE images? One image has it set to dynamic, one has standard. I may have changed one during troubleshooting. Thanks.
