Assign patch server

(imported topic written by Braian)

Hi All,

Can we assign a server in which the client can download patch for windows?

Thanks,

braian

I have never tried this, but I believe you could have a top level relay with a large cache and configure it for “_BESClient_Download_DirectOnFail” which should mean that the relay will reach out to the internet and download the patches directly and then pass them on to the clients downstream.

Is this different than the relay that it normally connects to for pulling tasks?
