Hi all,

Thank you very much frankb. I have followed your advice explained in the topic Difficulty to use OCSPACKAGE . I took my time  to deploy the Agent ocs with ocspackage.exe and a login script but unsuccess.

Main error identified in apache:

Hi,

Thank you very much Kapouik. I am going to study this documentation then to apply it. I am convinced this time the solution offered will work.

 

Kind regards

Answer 2

Hi,

Have you restarted apache after the change of the password in ocsinventory-server.conf?

Hi,

I can assure you Frankb before changing any data in a file of OCS I have the reflex to stop the Apache, MySQL and OCS Inventory services. Yesterday, I had defined a pssword for the database of ocs. But there were as error message: ERROR *** AGENT => Failed to send Prolog <HTTP Status Code #500>. This is strange.

N.B: It's only with the ocspackage I have problems. But I can deploy the OCS agents manually or with the OCSNG-Agent-Deploy-Tool2.1

 Resolve to face problems: 

• I have kept the default login SQL of the ocswebdatabse. Now I have no longer this error quoted above
• I am testing the recommendation given by your colleague in this topic

Purpose: used a login script to deploy the ocs agents. 

 

Thank you for your help frankb

Kind regards

 

 

Answer 3

Hi everyone,

 

in my case, i Put all files in a share directory \\server\ocs-agent\

-file ocslogon.exe

-file ocspackage.exe( created with ocspackager, be careful, never change the name of the file)

-file cacert.pem

Then, in my gpo, i use \\server\ocsagent\ocslogon.exe /PACKAGER /GPO /DEPLOY=2.1.1.1 /server=http://myserver/ocsinventory

Best regards!
