On the other hand, PDQ Deploy consoles configured in Client Mode will not retain any packages, imported or custom. In existing PDQ installations, PDQ Deploy consoles configured in Server Mode will retain all packages, including custom packages.There may be multiple relationships, however, meaning an organization may have multiple server/client relationships, but those relationships are discrete (see notes at the end of this article for more information and limitations). In the Server/Client relationship, only one server is possible, but there may be multiple client PDQ Deploy consoles. The PDQ Deploy console in Server Mode may also initiate deployments and all other tasks however, they are initiated in the same way a standalone, locally-installed PDQ Deploy console would.

In this model, the PDQ Deploy consoles in Client Mode initiate all deployments, post-deployment notifications, and Wake-on-LAN events on the PDQ Deploy console running in Server Mode, using the Server's database and repository. No repository or local database is installed on this machine.Ĭonfiguring Central Server will be covered in the following topics:Ĭentral Server addresses the need to share packages between PDQ Deploy consoles by creating a server/client relationship. Client Mode: the console(s) of PDQ Deploy used to connect to the Server's database and repository.Consoles in Client Mode will connect to this machine through a TCP port. Server Mode: a console of PDQ Deploy used to house the central database and repository.This is the normal installation used in previous versions of PDQ Deploy. Local Mode: a standalone console of PDQ Deploy with the repository installed on the same machine, using its own local database.There are three available options when configuring PDQ Deploy: If you will be converting an existing PDQ Deploy console to Client Mode and have custom packages on that console's repository and database, please check out the Migrating Custom Packages and Schedules from a Local Installation section of this article first. You wish to configure the PDQ Deploy Central Server.
