ezUpdate Server Deployment Currently, ezUpdate supports four protocols: ● ftp ● http ● nfs ● local The following procedures uses an ftp server to describe deployment of the ezUpdate server. To deploy an ezUpdate server: 1. Create a directory to hold the update packages: /ftproot/ezupdate. 2. Under the root directory, create a file named client_triggers. 3. Put the hostname of the clients that are going to be updated in this file, one hostname per line. This file is used to control which hosts will receive updates. Besides the exact hostname, you may also list regular expressions in this file, for example: ● HP.* matches all hostnames that start with "HP". ● HP[0-9]* matches all hostnames that start with "HP" followed by zero or more digits, e.g., HP12345 matches but HP12345A does not. ● HP[0-9]\\+ matches all hostnames that start with "HP" followed by one or more digits. 4. Create four directories named "CUSTOM", "FIRMWARE", "PACKAGES", and "PROFILE" under ezUpdate root directory. You may classify the updates and put the packages and .2do files to the proper directories according to their properties. 5. Create (ezUpdate-root)/update_list. This is a plain text file which lists paths to the .2do files that should be installed on the clients, for example: ● PACKAGES/acrobat/install.2do ● PACKAGES/flash/install.2do ● PACKAGES/firefox/uninstall.2do ● PROFILE/install.2do For details of the .2do file, please refer to "xpe_snapin_ref.pdf".

ezUpdate Server Deployment
Currently, ezUpdate supports four protocols:
ftp
http

The following procedures uses an ftp server to describe deployment of the ezUpdate server.
To deploy an ezUpdate server:
1.
Create a directory to hold the update packages: /ftproot/ezupdate.
2.
Under the root directory, create a file named client_triggers.
3.
Put the hostname of the clients that are going to be updated in this file, one hostname per line.
This file is used to control which hosts will receive updates.
Besides the exact hostname, you may also list regular expressions in this file, for example:
HP.* matches all hostnames that start with "HP".
HP[0-9]* matches all hostnames that start with "HP" followed by zero or more digits, e.g.,
HP12345 matches but HP12345A does not.
HP[0-9]\\+ matches all hostnames that start with "HP" followed by one or more digits.

ezUpdate root directory. You may classify the updates and put the packages and .2do files to the
proper directories according to their properties.
5.
Create (ezUpdate-root)/update_list. This is a plain text file which lists paths to the .2do files that
should be installed on the clients, for example:
PACKAGES/acrobat/install.2do
PACKAGES/flash/install.2do
PACKAGES/firefox/uninstall.2do
PROFILE/install.2do
For details of the .2do file, please refer to "xpe_snapin_ref.pdf". Here is an simple example:
# The name and the version of the package, *required*.
# PACKAGE_NAME=acrobat
