Hello all!
I'm going through and trying to figure out the best setup for the way our machines are. We have one Shavlik console that has internet access, and that will have to distribute patches to another domain with 5 offline consoles. What is the recommended way to set this up?
I have the following thoughts or questions about this, so if you can help answer them that would be appreciated!
- Distribution Servers Tab
- Online Console
- On the online console, setup a distribution server to the offline share in the other domain?
- After this distribution server is set, we would schedule automatic synchronization, so that the online server would sync patches with the offline share?
- All offline consoles
- All offline consoles need this same distribution set on their end right?
- Do I need to set automatic synchronization here? Or is this handled with the downloads portion?
- Online Console
- Downloads Tab
- Offline Consoles
- With Distribution Servers set, I presume my download source for the offline servers now becomes the distribution server right?
- Do I need a scheduled automatic download schedule set here?
- Offline Consoles
I guess my main question is, is any of this done automatically? Or is it based off of all of the schedules? If I scan a machine at site A, will it connect to the distribution server to acquire the patch first?
Thanks!
