Since DS 6.9 the password in aclient.inp must be the encrypted password. To get the encrypted password:
- From the DS console change the password for one client
- Go to this client registry and fetch the encrypted password
- Copy this password in the aclient.inp.
Now new rollouts will get the password properly set.
Note: This works fine for aclients. Dagents require an extra parameter in aclient.inp:
AllowMod=1
For existing clients create a copy task to copy your aclient.inp, destination 'self:aclient.inp'. This will reset all aclient settings to the ones listed in aclient.inp.
I have also turned off the Automatically update Clients but most clients seem still be running this from the System Jobs - Agent Update Jobs, is there somewhere else this needs to be turned off?
The 'System Jobs - Agent Update Jobs' are still regerated for every client. The only result from turning off Automatic updates will be that these system jobs are not started.
