Known Issues and Limitations

  • If a firewall prevents sending multicast signals, Dispatcher Discovery in the Global Settings of Ivanti Automation should be configured to Use Dispatcher address list.
  • The machine on which the Agent is installed must be capable of resolving the list of Dispatchers as specified in the resamad.xml file. If they are not (for example, because they are not a member of the same domain), the Agent will go offline again after an initial connection.
  • Scripts that you run on Agents for Unix/Linux using the Task Execute Unix/Linux Command cannot include reboot and shutdown commands. Use the Tasks Reboot Unix/Linux Computer or Shutdown Unix/Linux Computer instead.
  • At Library > Resources, the option Parse variables, parameters and functions in contents of this file will replace these items with actual values, when the Resource is used in a Job. When a Resource is downloaded, parameters and functions can be parsed. When the Job is executed on a machine running Unix or Linux, environment variables will not be replaced. As a result, the option Skip parsing of environment variables also does not work on these machines.
  • Only the following Agent settings are supported:
    • Dispatcher discovery
    • Dispatcher location
    • Dispatcher recovery: This is always set to Retry discovery.
    • Protocol encryption
  • Snapshot Intelligence is not supported for Agents for Unix/Linux.
  • Using the Prepare for Image functionality will bring the Agent daemon down and remove all Agent information from the Datastore. The configuration settings of the Agent will be preserved and only the GUID will be removed from the resamad.xml. This means that the Agent can be restarted with the same name, as long as it has another GUID.
  • The following functions are not supported:
    • @[FILEVERSION(<filename>)]
    • @[REGISTRY(<registry value>)]
    • @[GET-ASSETTAG]
    • @[GET-COMPUTERFUNCTION]
    • @[GET-OS-SUITES]
    • @[GET-OS-VERSION]
    • @[REPLACE-DIACRITICS(<value>)]
    • @[GET-OS-TYPE]
  • The following Team rules are not supported:
    • Computer Function
    • Operating System > Suite
    • Operating System > Type
