4.1.3.1. Usage of the opsi-deploy-preloginloader
The opsi-deploy-preloginloader script installs the opsi-preloginloader direct from the
opsi depot server on the clients. Requirements for the clients are:
● an open C$ share
● an open admin$ share
● an administrative account
The script creates the client information on the server and copies the installation files,
the configuration information and the pckey to the client and starts the installation on the
client.
With the opsi-deploy-preloginloader script you can batch install a list of clients. The
script itself is located in /opt/pcbin/install/preloginloader.
Attention: During installation the client reboots without notice!
bonifax:/home/uib/oertel# cd /opt/pcbin/install/preloginloader
bonifax:/opt/pcbin/install/preloginloader# ./opsi-deploy-preloginloader -h
Usage: opsi-deploy-preloginloader [options] [host]...
Deploy opsi preloginloader to the specified clients.
The c$ and admin$ must be accessible on every client.
Options:
-h show this help text
-V show version information
-v increase verbosity (can be used multiple times)
-u username for authentication (default: Administrator)
-p password for authentication
-f file containing list of clients (one hostname per line)
4.1.3.2. Usage of service_setup.cmd
Also in /opt/pcbin/install/preloginloader located is the script service_setup.cmd. This
can be started with administrative privileges from the client side. The script connects to
the opsi-webservice to create the server side client information and to get the pckey.
The connect takes the user/password combination registered in the config.ini. If the
connect fails, a login window pops up to fill in service URL, user and password. The
provided user has to be member of the group 'opsiadmin'.
