We just went to 2.52 (or SP-1) of ePO..
It has upgraded all clients automatically (even locked down). We just installed this new version on Thursday evening (18 July 2002). All appears well.
This appealed to me when investigating this upgrade:
quote:
You can also set the number of concurrent
downloads to 0. This allows you to disable
agent autoupgrade and software deployment;
for example, if you use a method other than
ePolicy Orchestrator to distribute software
updates.
Or this..
quote:
14. In the 1.1 release, the .NAP and plug-in
files for NetShield 4.5 for Windows NT and
Windows 2000 failed the FTP authentication
for AutoUpgrade and AutoUpdate. This has
been fixed.
Or...
quote:
22. In the 1.1 release, if agents were not
automatically upgraded on Windows 95
client computers, you needed to restart
the computer or re-deploy the agent. A
one-minute delay has been added after the
user logs on, enabling the task to
complete successfully.
