Solus 3 questions

[bon_clay]

We had solus 3 installed during the summer and I had a couple of questions on how it worked.

1. Every time I add the solus 3 client to a machine it will install the agent then say it is downloading updates but will never install the update sima to the latest version unless I go and redeploy the Sims update and select the machines that are not up to date. Is this meant to happen as I thought solus 3 would auto update during the scheduled times that are set.

2. When on a PC with the solus 3 agent every time I click on update it will say that it cannot install the latest update as it is not in the repository. I have checked the repository and can see files are in there. Is there any special permissions the repository needs so that PCs will be able to update by clicking on the update button?

#1 have you set all the firewall rules up right? That normally occurs if you're missing some.

 

#2 is a bug in Solus3 currently that it deletes the record of the update from the database every now and then It's "being fixed" (workaround - download the update on Solus server again, then click download on client and it'll work *for a while)

The sims engineer set up the firewall rules on the server so i assume that those are okay. For client PC I have tested out deploying the update with the firewall turned off and still have the same issue.
