Progress and Error Log Messages

Failed to write package defn. file [Package Definition].PD. Please check the Client is accessible

The Offline Area server may be inaccessible, or the access control settings could be wrong. This message may also be displayed if an online Client is inaccessible.

Skipping installation of [Package]. Package is already installed.

The Agent considers the package is already installed, based on the Check paths entered in the Package Distribution Definition. This message indicates that the specified Package is being removed from the Pending queue; the Package itself is not deleted.

Network load control is delaying installation of Package [Package]

Software distributions can impose a significant load on a network and they need to be spread out so that the network is not impaired as an installation is queued to many PCs. PC-Duo Enterprise's Agent uses a simple algorithm which allows you to spread installations across several days. You can control this with the Target Completion date setting when performing a job.

Installing package: [Package]

The package installation is commencing.

Installed package [Package] successfully.

The package installation has successfully completed.

Reboot underway during installation of [Package]. Install confirmation or restart will happen on the next run

This Package was expected to perform a reboot and this is now happening. The Agent will perform the Check paths test when the PC restarts and should then report that the Package is installed.

User refused installation of [Package] at this time. [Number] refusals left

Users should preferably not do anything while an installation is being processed. As this can be the cause of some inconvenience, the Agent allows each application to be given a Refusal Limit. This means the user will be prompted before the installation starts and will have the opportunity to prevent the installation from proceeding the given number of times. Once all of the refusals have been used up, the installation becomes mandatory.

Reboot/shutdown request received when prompting for installation

The Client PC is being rebooted prior to the installation commencing.

Reboot required for package installation

The package installation needs to reboot the Client PC before the installation can be completed. The user will be prompted with a message box.

Other application(s) have refused the reboot

Other applications may refuse an attempted reboot. For example, if an application contains an unsaved document and so prompts the user to save their changes, the user could cancel out of the exit operation and this will prevent the reboot.

User refused system reboot at this time

When prompted, the Client PC user chose to not perform a system reboot.
