Preferred Server Settings

Preferred Servers are file shares on your internal network to host Ivanti Neurons content such as App Distribution packages, patches, agent downloads, and so on. This allows agents to download content efficiently within your network without going to cloud servers each time.

Preferred Server is supported on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Preferred Servers only support App Distribution files in this release. Preferred Servers reduce network traffic utilization over wide-area networks and between subnets.

A device with Preferred Server does not require an Ivanti Agent to be installed.

You can create a list of preferred servers from which endpoints can download Ivanti Neurons content. Once created, assign preferred servers to IP ranges such that endpoints may use preferred servers that are available to them at high bandwidth, such as on the same subnet.
