Carbon Copy - Peer to Peer

Carbon Copy - Peer to Peer
Submitted by thibbert on 12 March, 2008 - 14:53.

Is there a way to use Carbon Copy without using the Altiris web console? Is there a hard console? Basically, I need to see if we can use it peer-to-peer vs. through the server.

There is not a 32-bit

There is not a 32-bit console that I'm familiar with, but you can access it directly from the url http://<servername>/Altiris/CarbonCopy/RemoteControlTask.aspx.

There might be a way to run Carbon Copy from the agent icon in the system tray if you set it to be visible--I'm not familiar with that method either.

I've never tried this, but try clicking on the system tray. Select "phone book" and then you can connect with another user. I believe this only works for the Carbon Copy SA version.

I got sick of having to

I got sick of having to wait for the ns console to load everytime I wanted to use carbon copy.. I wrote this little script. Make sure to change servername to your server's name then save the script as a .bat file. You will need to have the iexplore.exe line along with the server url and IpAdd line all on the same line. For some reason Juice breaks it up on different lines.
