Re: Mac Client Uptdate - for Irena

2000-10-19 Thread Ben Mihailescu

Hi James,

I completely understand the Windows side of the client update. If you run the
update with the manual reboot client the old version will still be active until
after the first reboot. I've updated 59 clients last night before my nightly
backup with the manual reboot client (Win) and they have all been backed up
correctly over night.
So, Dantz, it would be nice to put the Mac Client Update software in a
"Macintosh Manual Reboot" folder, rather then just "Macintosh". Essentially it
would have avoided us having this discussion, and therefore be more
efficient.

Cheers, Ben

 separate .rcu files: one that will automatically restart the computer and
 one that requires a manual reboot.  And correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't
 the Windows client service completely stop until reboot, while the Mac
 client can continue operating even if there has not been a reboot (it will
 still be the same version, though)?

 Hi Irena,

 Will they reboot automatically upon installation of the update, or they can
 be
 restarted manually? We are talking about Mac clients only. Your answer was
 great, but ambiguous. Sorry :-(

 Thanks again, Ben

Hi Ben,

They will require a manual reboot; Retrospect won't automatically reboot a
Mac client after updating.

Thanks for keeping me in check ;)

Hi Irena,

Thanks, that's good news. Sorry if I seemed harsh. It's better to be clear than
sorry.
