- You don't need to refresh the page, Otto will automatically refresh the page during the deployment process.
- The package will show Push Confirmed if the Active Directory group addition is successful and confirmedgroup membership will appear in the Active Directory Object card once the system has synched this information from Active Directory (which can take up to 45 seconds or more).
- Once the addition is confirmed the system will usually be ready to install the application within 15-30 minutes (due to Ottomate's speeder-upper job below), but some applications require the user to logout.
- Otto asks Ottomate (our helper service) to attempt to speed up some SCCM operations, including a collection update for the package you just pushed, and triggering hardware inventory on the system. This process can take several minutes. Otto will send the tech a 1-1 Slack message when complete, and it will also send in an External Event for the system which can be viewed with the Events link under actions. When these two steps are successful, SCCM should be able to enforce the package. However other conditions of SCCM (previously queued updates, poor network speed, WMI or SCCM client issues) as well as logout-requirements can delay installation.
