To configure uberAgent through Group Policy, follow these steps:
Copy the Group Policy AMDL/ADMX templates included in the uberAgent download package to your PolicyDefinitions directory
Create a new GPO that applies to the computers uberAgent is installed on
Import the default configuration from the directory uberAgent components\Group Policy\GPO backup of the download package, choosing either the default configuration or the version optimized for data volume.
Adjust the imported default configuration as required
Local configuration files on the endpoints are ignored and policy settings are used exclusively
Detailed Description
Preparation
In order to have the uberAgent settings show up in Group Policy Management Editor, you need to add uberAgent’s Group Policy template (ADMX and ADML files) to your PolicyDefinitions directory. If you are using a Central Store for Group Policy administrative template files then the location of the PolicyDefinitions directory is:
\\FQDN\SYSVOL\FQDN\policies\PolicyDefinitions
If you are not using a Central Store administrative templates reside on the machines that are used to manage Group Policy in:
%Systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions
In any case, copy all files from this location in uberAgent’s download package to your PolicyDefinitions directory:
Once the administrative template files are in the correct location choose a Group Policy Object (GPO) you want to configure uberAgent’s settings in. uberAgent’s configuration settings are located in Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > uberAgent.
Settings Import
The easiest way to get a working configuration is to import the settings from the GPO backup included in the uberAgent download package.
To import the default configuration follow these steps:
In Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) navigate to the node Group Policy Objects (import is not available on a GPO link)
Right-click the GPO you want to import the settings into
Select Import Settings…
When asked for the Backup location from which settings will be imported select the directory uberAgent components\Group Policy\GPO backup from uberAgent’s download package
Complete the Import Settings wizard
Open the GPO you imported the settings into in Group Policy Management Editor
Adjust the setting Servers (required) according to your requirements
Manual Configuration
As an alternative to importing the default configuration (as described above) you can configure uberAgent’s settings from scratch. Here are some recommendations:
Configure and enable a receiver: Receivers > Receiver 01
Configure and enable at least one timer: Timers > Timer 01
Do not forget to enable the setting Configuration through Group Policy
Troubleshooting
Verify in the registry that the machines running uberAgent have received the correct Group Policy settings. uberAgent’s settings are stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\vast limits.
Verify that uberAgent is processing the settings correctly:
