Windows 10 IoT install

[Joakim E]

Hello community,

We will deploy Windows 10 IoT clients within our organization and need to manage them through Client Automation. Is Windows 10 IoT supported? I don't see it in the compatibility matrix.

Up to this point we have been managing only Linux computers with Client Automation, and a 64-bit agent was introduced in the 14.03 release. Is there still no 64-bit agent for Windows?

We need to build a fully patched Windows 10 agent install image. What is the best way?

[Steve Parker]

Hi Joakim,



Windows 10 I0T is binary equivalent to Windows 10 Enterprise and is
supported.



The main reason the Linux Agent was ported to 64 bit was due to having to
install 32bit compatibility libraries. On Windows we do not have the same
problem. We still have a 64bit Client Automation on the development plan
but it has not been prioritized.



Rgds,

Steve

Thank you Steve!

Could you please also tell me what is the best way to build a Windows 10 agent install image, including all the latest (CU4) patches? We are looking for the most efficient way to deploy Client Automation to +1000 Windows boxes, ideally with just one command. How do we achieve that?

Hi Joachim,



https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/business-management/clarity-client-automation/14-0/release-information-14-0-2/new-features-and-enhancements-of-14-0-2.html#concept.dita_9f853d61008ed14b195de26152f4a02db0b51792_SimplifiedMasterImageUpdate



Place a copy of the CU4 Agent Package in your master image and update the
“InstallTestFixes.bat” to run the same command as SD uses to install the
package “ DeployWrapper.exe /INST ApplyPtfInstall /PTF=99111509.jcl /SILENT
/INSTALLNEW /OUTPUTFILE=%temp%\99111509.log”

Thanks Steve,

I think I got the procedure but what's unclear is the placement of the CU4 deploywrapper applyptfinstall command. Where in InstallTestFixes.bat do I put it? Right after the popd command?

Yes, you can add your own lines of script after the popd command.

Hello again Steve,

We have been using only static ip addresses for the agents so far. Is DHCP assigned agent ip supported as well?

[Steve Parker]

Yes, The Agents support DHCP.

Hi Steve,

We use dtsagent for file transfers, just realized that it is not installed by default on Windows. How do I include dtsagent in the base install?

[Joakim E]

Under WindowsProductFiles_x86 on the install DVD there is an AgentDTS folder. Can it be merged into the install image?

[Steve Parker]

Hi Joakim,

In the same CMD file as you are installing the CU5 patch you can install the DTS Agent using the AgentDTS folder from the DVD.

You need to perform the DTS install before the CU5 install. 

The command to install the DTS Agent is "start /wait msiexec /i agtDTS.msi /l*v "%temp%\dtsagent.log" ALLUSERS=1 /qn".

Rgds,

Steve

Thanks Steve,

So I copy all the contents in the AgentDTS folder into the TestFixes folder in the install image? Including the sub-folders "program files" and "reginfo"? There is already a reginfo folder in TestFixes containing 2 files with the same name as in AgentDTS; itemproc.dat and rsw.dat. What to do with them?

[Steve Parker]

You do not need the reginfo directory from the agentdts folder.



Rgds,

Steve.

Do I need program files? It only contains some certificates and a camconfig.post file

[Steve Parker]

Probably not, but I do not have time to test it at the moment.
