Multiple Servers and Deployment Packages

[David_Elliott]

I just learned that LS now supports multiple scanning servers to roll-up into a single database.

Can those scanning servers also deploy packages? And if so, is there any type of replication process or would I just need to use robocopy or whatever file copy process for the installers and export/import installers from the master?

I see it now. Duhhh. Thanks.

Daniel B- is the multiple package share an option in the latest version? I'm on 5242 and don't see that ability.


PeterG and vonderau- thanks for your suggestions.

You need to have defined multiple IP locations under Configuration\Asset groups, section IP Address Range locations in order to be able to define multiple package shares. In any case, the layout of the web console was changed a bit in version 5.3, so you can now directly define the package share when adding IP locations.

Another option to keep the shares up to date would be DFS.

or just setup 1 package share server with enough bandwidth and load balancing to handle all the deployment and have each Lansweeper Server to use dedicated server to host deployments.

If you did this, you will be able to provide one package share location for each IP location. You don't necessarily need to have multiple scanning servers in order to use multiple packages shares. Package shares can be set up under Deployment\Security options. There is no functionality to automatically synchronize different packages shares. Robocopy scripts may be a good alternative.
