I’m dealing with partial configurations. I’m using only one pull server and multiple configurations. I’m using configuration names and two kind of configurations:
Configurations for a role, in this case W10 client workstations
Documents follow the naming convention [ConfigurationName].mof
Configurations for a especific node
Documents follow the naming convention [ConfigurationName].[NodeName].mof
As documentations states, I'm allowed to do this since I have WMF 5.1 in the server
My problem is that nodes cannot find in the server mof documents following the 2nd naming convention.
Is that how you’ve set it up? And obviously permissions on the MOF and CHECKSUM files would need to be appropriate. And we’ll gloss over the dangers of using HTTP :).
where I have other partial documents which are being extracted succesfully (so I guess permission issues should be ruled out). I have also the correspondent MakeAdministrator.[NodeName].mof.checksum in the right place.
I don’t have problems extracting/executing documents named [ConfigurationName].mof. It seems that problems arise when using the [ConfigurationName].[Node].mof naming convention.
Am I doing wrong with the mof’s naming?
Regarding https, yes, I know …, I’ve been trying to set it up unsuccesfully I have a post related to this in the forum.
I finally achieved what I wanted to, although not in the way I thought it should be at first. I’ll try to explain.
I followed a mixed (pull and push) partial configuration approach. One of the configurations (MakeAdministrator) had to be in ‘PUSH’ RefreshMode because it includes node-specific data, as a matter of fact, user-specific data which I get from a configuration data variable.
