Upgrading the KACE Windows Agent using GPO Settings
If I used the K1000 GPO Provisioning Tool for Agent Deployment to create (and have linked) GPOs for provisioning the Windows KACE Agent, will it only handle new installs or will it automatically upgrade from the specified repository if it detects that the agent msi in the directory is newer than the currently installed version?
Or do I need to enable the Agent Update Settings for all devices?
If I do enable the Agent Update Settings for all devices, and the GPO is correctly applied, will it know to run the upgrade from the specified share rather than the K1000 Appliance?

Also download the agent and reuse the GPO tool to replace the "old" agent with the new one for deploying to machines without agent. - Nico_K 9 years ago
I have about 800 devices, and would like to set this up so new devices will get the agent when they are imported into AD, or to find and install the agent on any that might be missing.
My main question is, will this affect devices that have the same version of the agent already installed? I don't want it to reinstall on the ones that already have it. I can't find information anywhere that says if it will or won't. Thanks. - iguthrie 8 years ago
