Hello,
we have to deal with the issue that users are out there with very small bandwith connections and sometimes short connection times (e. g. a few minutes to download their emails).
EDIT: Our VPN Connection is only established as soon as a user is logged in and not when the computer has booted up again
That causes the following issuses:
- Large installations will not work without either arranged appointments with the users or them coming in to one of our locations
- running installations will abort, because the lose their connection to their respective scalability Server
- reboots will cause the client to be disconnected from our VPN and will only reconnect when user consciously logs in again.
We tried to work around that by creating a "script suite" that utilizes the mechanisms to export software packages on to a medium (USB stick, CD) that are built into ITCM, but this comes with quite a few caveats. One being that you don't get a success status without parsing result files on the client.
Now I'm wondering if there's a built-in way to deal with that issue that we just haven't identified, yet?
