I am noticing a very annoying issue with my BES clients on Windows 10. If I am deploying a package which requires a download, the relay replies with ‘False’., I can understand that: the Relay has to move the files to the requested location etc.
However, my issue is the fact that not untill 10 minutes later, the client checks again.
Since I am deplying 50 software packages, this will take me up to 500 mintues, and that is downloading alone.
I have set the _BESGather_Download_RetryMinutes in the registry, but that does not solve anything. It still checks only once per 10 minutes.
When I restart the client, it will download instantly.
In the ideal situation, the Client is able to receive a UDP notification from its parent Relay that a given download request is now available, and so wouldn’t need to wait the default 10 minutes for it to check itself (note that the check-in behavior by the Client for downloads is configured via _BESClient_Download_CheckAvailabilitySeconds ).
Is the Client in this case not able to receive UDP notifications? (is perhaps the Windows software firewall blocking BigFix traffic to the Client?)
