Administrator Guide
• Debug: Consisting of all information in Errors, Warning, Informational, and additional debugging data that might be useful to WDM
developers, sales engineers, and administrators.
• Web Services: Details the activity of the WDM Web Services for device management.
• DHCP Proxy: Details the activity of the WDM Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol as it discovers the device.
• TFTP: Details the Trivial File Transfer Protocol activity for distributing software packages to devices.
Scheduling
The Scheduling page helps you to view the details such as maximum simultaneous updates, timezone of schedule updates, maximum retry
attempts for rescheduling failed updates and auto sync remote software repositories.
Figure 52. Scheduling
• Maximum Simultaneous Updates: The maximum number of device updates you can perform at the same time in the subnet.
• Scheduled updates by timezone of: Select the WDM Time Zone that will be in eect when you schedule device updates. Options
include:
• DB Update Server : The time zone dened by the physical location of the WDM Database.
• Console: The time zone dened by the physical location of the WDM Console.
• Device: The time zone dened by the physical location of the device that will undergo the actual update.
• Update notice to end-users: This is the setting to bring up the User Notication Query Window on the client device whenever an
update package is scheduled for the client.
• Maximum retry attempts rescheduling failed updates: The Max. Retry Count specify the number of retries you want if package
deployment fails.
• Auto-sync Remote Repositories: Select to enable WDM (Enterprise Edition only) to determine if Remote Repositories should be
synchronized before performing an update to devices served by a Remote Repository.
Peer Assisted Deployment
Peer Assisted Deployment (PAD) is a mechanism that provides imaging updates to thin client devices that are managed through the WDM
server. This mechanism works best in an environment where the devices are spread across multiple subnets. In peer assisted deployment,
the WDM server chooses a set of devices that act as the repository servers for other devices within their respective subnets. Therefore,
updates are delivered from peer nodes to other devices and hence the term peer assisted deployment.
The PAD feature is applicable to the following platforms:
