Home tab, Welcome to Symantec Management Console. Left side shows status of Discover computers, rollout agent, collect inventory, etc.
Center shows list of discovered computers
Right shows other status stuff - and in that list is "Automatic rollout to newly discovered computers" is indicating "Off".
Very odd since I want it to find the computers in AD and then automatically install the management agent - and all other agents we utilize and license.
When I click the line (in blue) "Automatic rollout to newly discovered computers" I get the setup/configuration screen - and the only options are to schedule the rollout. And I have done that. It's scheduled!
But why does this always say off?
I've read the PDF docs after printing about 1,000 sheets of paper so I could read it more easily and flip pages instead of navigating a HUGE PDF file. It says zero about this screen or how to tell it on instead of off.
I set up this schedule when I found it didn't "automatically" do anything at all, I had to either schedule it, or do a "Rollout Agent to Computers" thijng shown in the middle here -
So why is the automatical rollout to new computer showing off, and what can be done to make this right?
I notice that it's also not automatically FINDING the computers in our AD, but that's another thread! It's got an issues with that, too. But when I force it to find by restarting services, this is still goofy that it doesn't to this automatically.
