Rollout Manager possible at multiple Site ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am wondering if Rollout Manager can be used in Multiple Site.

Let say we want to Rollout MSA version 6.0 SP02 in multiple countries at the same time and send the data update through

Rollout Manager. I want to use different Rollout managers at each site for ex. 5 rollout Managers and these will connect to CRM sever at the same time and retrieve the data.

Has anyone ever tryed it or have any expierence with this or are there any other options.

Thx for you input in advance

Regards

Hello Ab

Rolling out Multiple sites is very much possible provided all the Rollout laptops are 'identically' accessible for the Stationary site (Since you are planning to Rollout across the countries, you need to take care of Firewall and related Network behaviour you might encounter)

Please make sure you have the latest patch for Rollout Manager in place (Note 1097450). This includes a fix to a Multiple Rollout scenario.

Note 1225204 will help you with initial troubleshooting (if you need any).

Note 1165306 will help you additionally with the Vista installations.

You can make use of the Command line variation of Rollout (you can get info from Rollout help file) if you are doing Multiple Rollouts.

Thank you

Best Regards and A Happy Rollout!
