Allow Deployment Agent to Self Register with a Deployment Group
You can set up a deployment group to allow the Deployment Agent to self-register with a specific group. This option is disabled by default but provides an alternative method for installing Deployment Agents on managed computers to register with a specific deployment group on the Management Center rather than predefining the group membership in the Management Console.
- Select the Home button in the navigation pane.
- Expand the [Server] > Deployment Groups > [Deployment Group] node.
- Select the Settings node.
- Select the General tab.
- Select the Allow self-registration option.
Any user can now choose during Deployment Agent installation for the computer to join the deployment group.
Allow Deployment Agent to Unregister from a Deployment Group
You can set up a deployment group to allow a local administrator to request the Deployment Agent unregisters computers from a specific group. This option is disabled by default.
- Select the Home button in the navigation pane.
- Expand the [Server] > Deployment Groups > [Deployment Group] node.
- Select the Settings node.
- Select the General tab.
- Select the Allow unregistration option.
An administrator can now command the Deployment Agent to unregister computers from this deployment group.
Allow Deployment Agent Initiate Updates
You can set up a deployment group to allow a local administrator to request the Deployment Agent initiates updates of agents and configurations outside of any installation schedule that is set up. This option is disabled by default.
- Select the Home button in the navigation pane.
- Expand the [Server] > Deployment Groups > [Deployment Group] node.
- Select the Settings node.
- Select the General tab.
- Select the Allow update initiation option.
An administrator can now command the Deployment Agent to immediately install or uninstall packages for this deployment group regardless of the installation schedule.
