[sims] Discover won't deploy

[MattHarwood]

Hi all,

 

I'm having a strange issue with deploying SIMS Discover through SOLUS3. I've 'Updated the environment', and selected the new laptop to be included as a Discover client.

 

I save the changes, and SOLUS says the target definitions have been saved. Then... nothing. No installation, or messages to suggest installation - just nothing!

 

Does anyone have any suggestions please?

 

Thanks!

Have you looked at the SIMS forums?

See the thread called 'SOLUS 3 issues for Capita to address' by Richard Chappelle and the answer will be in point 4 of his first post. Not a good answer though.

 

You may want to change your Discover deployments to a scripted install from the MSI (See the Discover Commandline Install - ref 21914) then add them to Solus3

An irritating issue which sometimes effects SIMS and FMS.

 

Redeploy the latest Discover update in Update History

This will push it out.

Not speaking from experience but the post I mentioned indicated all Discover machines will get messages saying Discover is being deployed/upgraded if you redeploy Discover. Not something I would want to see.

Hopefully this will be looked into.

Yeah, that will happen.

Not great.

Discover is not used widely where I am so the following is a bit of a guess.

I would ask staff to ignore the warning/notification as I don't think it would effect SIMS/FMS.

The only thing it puts in SIMS is two shortcuts to Discover.

Thanks everyone - I do remember a similar issue a couple of years ago, so it's a shame it can still happen!

 

Redeploying worked - thankfully we don't have many staff that have Discover, so the update warnings weren't too much of an issue. I wish there was a way to explicitly deploy silently!

 

Thanks again
