Hello all,
Since a half year i''m a LANDesk admin. Took over an already implemented LANDesk server.
To make a long story short, we have < 300 packages, >2500 tasks to distribute the software to about 50 sites in the world. The admins on every site connect via citrix to the console and have set scopes for there Site OU so they need to be able to administer the tasks of there site.
Every Site has it own tasks it can manage. So im chaging the way of disitrbution but can't find a good category structure as i want to be able to show this in the Portal Manager or as groups/bundlepackages. I'm trying to make a category structure so i don't need more packages for a different category. As you can only set one category per package.
All task are targetting the site LDAP groups with machines in it.
Which categories i'm trying to achieve.
- Production
- IT Portal ( Core software targetted to Site IT admin's )
- Windows 7
- Windows 8
- Test
- IT Portal
- Windows 7
- Windows 8
- Gateway ( non trusted domain deployment )
So pretty straight forward. The things i struggle with.
Core software package that are for both OS'es you can give a category IT Portal but than the admin doesn't know if the package is only for W7 or W8
Portal and OS groups need double task as they have different delivery methods
IT Portal or Portal cannot be used as they are for w7 or w8
Searching for any experience in a good category structure to have as little management points ? As i'm a bit stuck with it
