Hi @all,
concerning the Windows agent (>= vers. 5) I'm just wondering if it's possible to create a snowagent.config file which delivers the collected data ONLY to a drop location.
In the old snow clients (up to vers. 3) you could define a "Destination Folder" and it wasn't mandatory to fill in the endpoint adress.
I tried it the same way with agent 6.1 but failed because while creating a new configuration file in SMACC it says "Server is required".
Editing the snowagent.config file manually does not work, either. Executing the send command throws an error ("No endpoint can establish a connection to the server."). That's logical as there is no endpoint configured but the step concerning the drop location is not executed, either.
Well, I know about the possibilities of using a gateway server or the Inventory File Forwarder connector within SIM.
So, is it really neccessary to configure an endpoint in any case?
Greetings :-)

Hi J.Niessalla,
Unfortunately a reachable endpoint is always required for the drop location to be used. However, i.e. in a DMZ you could set up Snow Inventory as a Gateway to have the agents reach it and in parallel drop their snowpack to your specified drop location.
If the endpoint is unreachable, the agent will not use drop location as an alternative and the snowpack will remain on the machine.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards
