Multi-PC single snapin deploy

[Matt Harding]

You can deploy a snapin to a single machine, or you can deploy all snapins to a bunch of machines… but what I cant seem to do is deploy a new snapin I create to a whole room of PCs at once without either manually setting them one machine at a time, or deploying all snapins, then going into the active snapins and cancelling all the ones I dont want.

Would be nice to select a group and single snapin deploy to the group in one hit.

Thanks

I have this exact same problem.

I have almost a hundred computers of different kinds on my network.
I also push a lot of different snapins.
Its fine for stuff like giving a computer Adobe Photoshop.
But if i want to update java on all computers, i really need a push single snapin to groups.
Doing it manually is almost more painfull that doing it by hand

Otherwise, great work.
Apart from maybe a dependability function, and push - the system works great.

Add the following lines to tasks.advanced.include.php:

[PHP]<tr>
<td class=“c”><a href=“?node=tasks&type=group&direction=onesnap&noconfirm=<?php print $groupid; ?>”><img src=“./images/snap.png” /><p><?php print _(‘Deploy Single Snapin’); ?></p></a></td>
<td><p><?php print _(‘This option allows you to send one of the snapins to the group without imaging the computers. (Requires FOG Service to be installed on client)’); ?></p></td>
</tr>[/PHP]

Hope this helps!

That seem to work!
Wonderfull

It does however only add the button if you look up a single computer, and not the group itself.
I am unable to find a group.advanced.include.php, could you point me in the right direction?

And thanks a bunch Timcough, thats gonne save me a lot of time

I’m not sure what you mean Jon. I have added this code to my system, and if I pick a group, go to advanced tasks, and select “Deploy a Single Snap-in” the task confirmation screen shows all the hosts in the list at the bottom. Is this not what you are needing?

[Jon Vinther]

Seems it was totally my own fault.

I did not read the entire [I][SIZE=12px]tasks.advanced.include.php [/SIZE][/I][SIZE=12px]file through, so i just posted it in the Host part of the file, instead of the “else” part, so i[/SIZE]t ended up being on the Host page.

After just moving it down in the file to the next part, it made a lot more sense

Thanks a lot for the help!

I’m going to try this out tomorrow, its a bit late in the day now to start getting into it so I’ll let you know how I get on. Thanks.

[Matt Harding]

ok, finally got around to doing this… Brilliant… thanks a lot… works a treat.

Sorry! I forgot to mention that it belongs in the groups section of the file. Glad to see y’all got it working in the end.
