Package Servers
We are starting to plan for our package server deployments and we are looking to add about a dozen globally. I know that the altiris agent on managed computers download the packages from the package servers closest to them but what if certain sites have several subnets? We go by location but by each location we have a few to a dozen different subnets? I looked in the package server status\configuration and see no configuration settings to add those subnets. Do systems just go by ping time no matter what the subet is in those locations?
Is there more information I can find in configuring package servers? It seems pretty simple for the most part but want to ensure all systems in those locations hit the correct package server regardless of subnet.
thank you
You assign sites to package
You assign sites to package servers. Within each site, you can add additional subnets to the site so the package server can serve them. You do this under the 6.5 console by going to Configure -> Package Servers ->Site Maintenenace.
thank you very much
Thank you - Much appreciated!
Create sites and subnets in AD
And import them in. Then based on the subnet and site assignement they get placed automatically into the correct package server. The IP Address and subnet are reported in Basic Inventory b y the Altiris Agent and then based on that, are assigned correctly
hope that helps
