Client creation requires atleast the ID field. The created client will be added to the opsi-Configserver. |
Client Actions
There are multiple actions that can be performed for a specific client. To select a client action:
-
Navigate to Client > All Clients.
-
Select the client you want to perform action on.
-
Click onor right-click the table row.
-
Click on the required action. It will show a popup with confirmation.
-
Click on [ Delete ] for client deletion and [ Confirm ] for other actions.
Deploy Client Agent
In order to connect a client to OPSI and register it as opsi-Client, the opsi-client-agent must be installed on it.
The deployment of the opsi-client-agent is also possible via Clients > Creation.
The deployment of the opsi-client-agent is not required if operating system is installed with OPSI. |
OnDemand
You can push installations and apply changes immediately to the client by executing on_demand
event on selected clients.
It is possible to execute on_demand on multiple clients.
Select clients and click in the Quick Panel.
It shows a confirmation popup with list of selected clients.
A confirmation popup will appear with an editable list of selected clients.

Client Groups
lients are mainly grouped into groups
, clientdirectory
and clientlist
.
A client can appear in the clientdirectory
only once, but can appear in the groups
multiple times.
A client that is not a member of the clientdirectory
is always assigned to its NOT_ASSIGNED
subgroup.
All clients of the selected depots are listed in clientlist
.
In the Quickpanel, the client groups are displayed in a tree structure under the tab . The number in the icon indicates the number of selected clients. The first tab shows a quick view of the editable list of all selections.
After the group selection, sort the clients table by Selection to get a detailed view.

Client Attributes and Parameters
There are two ways to edit the client attributes and parameters: Either via the Clients > Configuration page, or Clients > All clients and the configuration button. The latter has the advantage that you can switch between the clients more quickly, as the configuration is displayed next to the clients.
Quick Save is enabled by default. The parameter changes are saved immediately and the user cannot track changes or undo the last action. For information, see Disable Quick Save. |
