[sims] SOLUS and rebuilt machines

[synaesthesia]

Machines that have been rebuilt with the same name and on solus 3.

What a pain in the ****! ARGH! If it wasn't for this utterly stupid thing we'd have been reasonably quiet first day back! But no!

 

Anything we can do to stop it assuming SIMS is already there and running? Mass reinstalling agents sort of sometimes works, occasionally!

If they don't have the SOLUS agent on them, I just select them and hit Reinstall Agent on the Environment section - didn't take long to do and I rebuilt 44 staff PCs this Summer.

I go to the client machine and open the solus agent on there, check for updates, deploy. If I can't do that, sometimes checking client version on the management console can help

Frustrating this.. I got around it by using sims remote app on a server 2012 environment . Delegate credentials so it's single sign on and within 5 seconds they are presented with their sims login box. Zero touch installs now for me.
