Usage and Config Platform

(imported topic written by Marty23)

Hi;

I know that I can feed BESCleintDeploy.exe a couple of commandline switches,

/useComputerNameList

/automatic

/password

/username

/domainNameSubstitution

/domainNameAppend

And I wondering if instead of the using the computer name in the computer name list file, can I use IP address and even better can I input a IP range instead?

What I’m looking to is to create a schedule to push the the client out to some of our international sites at a predefind time of night.

Hey Marty,

Yes, you can do all that.

Here are some examples of what you can put in that file:

COMPUTERNAME
192.168.100.2
192.168.100.10-192.168.100.50
10.10.200.0/24
computername.companyname.com

Marty,

If this method, by either computername or IP, has worked for you, please let me know. I’ve tried to use the BESClientDeploy.exe from the command prompt, but it doesn’t work. I’ve been told that there is a bug in the tool; see BES Deployment post “Automating Client Deploy Tool” last updated on 2007-05-14 07:43:21 by me (Trickey) . I’m curious to see if it has worked for anyone.
