Item Description
Disable multicast
support (clients
must connect using
TCP)
Disables multicast support, which means that client
computers must connect to the Deployment Server using
TCP.
Multicast Address This is used only if multicast is not disabled.
Multicast Port This port is used only if multicast is not disabled.
Multicast TTL Specifies the number of "hops" or hubs that the client
computer can go through to multicast. This is used only if
multicast is enabled.
TCP Port This port is used whether multicast is enabled or disabled.

Automatically
update clients
Automatically updates the Altiris Client for Windows on
managed computers if there is a difference (older or newer)
between the client computer available in the Deployment
Server directory and the managed client computer.
Note
If any agent is upgraded to Deployment Solution 6.9, this
agent does not downgrade automatically if it connects to a
Deployment Server of an earlier version. To downgrade any
agent, install the older version of the agent manually.
Allow encrypted
sessions
Allows encrypted sessions between the Deployment Agent
and the Deployment Server. If the Deployment Agent data
encryption is turned on, you must also turn on the
Deployment Server option to pass encrypted data between
the client computer and the server.
