Inewton ,
Tools->option->agent settings is force agent setting. (Force agent setting can be applied to only the clients, which are not present already in the database).
If you make any changes
-----> In the Deployment Console you click on Tools>Options>Agent Settings>Change Default Settings for Automation Agent>Drive Mappings (suppose you changed drive letter to say M ) then this change will be reflected to individual clients connected to DS.
Here it is clearly mentioned in automation agent settings tab that " When new agent connects, they will receive this default setting fron DS server " ( i.e If the enry is already there in the database then these settings will not be forced on the agent as it is treated as old agent . Once the agent connects to DS server and confirms that it is new entry or client the DS force these settings for dagent. )
The chnages made in Tools -> options -> agents settings reflects to each client connected to DS server
You can verify by
- In the Computers Section if you Right Click on either the Container or specific computer>Change Agent Settings>Automation Agent>Drive Mappings (Here you will find the same drive mappings which are set in tools->option->agent setting ->default setting for Atuomation agent ). (
But i am not sure whether this feature properly works or not ? (i.e if the new client boots into automation and connects to DS then mapped drive should be the same which is set in tools ->option->agent settings).
Thanks
