13.27 SetDeploymentWebService

Use this Knowledge Script to set or change the hostname of the Deployment Web Service with which the managed client should communicate to install the agents remotely.

NOTE:For details on installing the agents remotely, see the User Guide for Control Center.

The Deployment Web Service is normally set during agent installation. If for any reason you did not supply the hostname of the Deployment Web Service during agent installation, or if you need to change the Deployment Web Service that was set for an agent, use this script to set or change it.

The computer that hosts the Deployment Web Service must be accessible over the network via Port 80 to all managed clients.

This script sets the following registry key on the target computer:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\NetIQ\AppManager\4.0\AgtShared\DeploymentEndpoint

To disable communication with the Deployment Web Service, leave the Name of Deployment Web Service parameter blank.

NOTE:After you run this script, the AppManager agent may take up to six hours to report its software inventory to the deployment Web service. Restart the NetIQ AppManager Client Resource Monitor and NetIQ AppManager Client Communication Manager agent services to ensure that the agent reports its software inventory immediately.
