Agent Builder: Parameters

Automatic Deployment Server Discovery	Causes the device agent to discover deployment servers using UDP broadcasts when it cannot find to the configured servers. If you have more than one SOTI MobiControl installation on the same network, you must set a unique site name for each installation. Doing so prevents the discovery process from detecting servers in a different installation.
Accept Direct Remote Control Connections	Sets whether the device agent accepts direct remote control connections (TCP/IP remote control connection profile). A direct connection improves performance by reducing latency. It requires the device to accept the connection without authentication, unless you have SSL security enabled. You can use remote control via the TCP/IP (Server) remote control connection profile regardless of this setting.
Device Stable Storage Folder	Sets the stable storage folder. The stable storage folder is a special folder on the device that is not erased when the device is hard reset. The device agent stores its installer, settings and packages in this folder so that the device agent can be automatically reinstalled after a hard reset. Note: Stable storage folders do not exist on all devices. For devices that do not feature a stable storage folder, SOTI MobiControl defaults to a standard folder on the file system. Optionally, you may use an external SD card as the stable storage folder. This option is not recommended in most scenarios, as removal of the SD card severely impacts the operation of the device agent.
Device Identifier	Sets the method used to create the unique identifier for each device.
List Agent in Remove Programs	Sets whether the device agent gets listed in the Remove Programs settings applet on the device. When this parameter is Off, the agent is not listed, preventing the device user from uninstalling it.
Deployment Server(s)	Sets the deployment server that the device agent connects to. The device agent connects to the deployment server to receive configuration information, software, and data. It is critical that the device be able to reach the IP address of the deployment server via the IP network of the device. If the device uses a public network such as the Internet, you need to set up an externally routable address for your deployment server in the SOTI MobiControl Administration Utility. See SOTI MobiControl Administration for information on setting up an external IP address for the deployment server. Note: Configure the deployment server before creating agents, as the address information gets embedded into the agent installer.
Set Windows Device Name	Sets the Windows device name to be the same as the system assigned name.

Automatic Deployment Server Discovery

Causes the device agent to discover deployment servers using UDP broadcasts when it cannot find to the configured servers. If you have more than one SOTI MobiControl installation on the same network, you must set a unique site name for each installation. Doing so prevents the discovery process from detecting servers in a different installation.

Accept Direct Remote Control Connections

Sets whether the device agent accepts direct remote control connections (TCP/IP remote control connection profile). A direct connection improves performance by reducing latency. It requires the device to accept the connection without authentication, unless you have SSL security enabled. You can use remote control via the TCP/IP (Server) remote control connection profile regardless of this setting.

Device Stable Storage Folder

Sets the stable storage folder. The stable storage folder is a special folder on the device that is not erased when the device is hard reset. The device agent stores its installer, settings and packages in this folder so that the device agent can be automatically reinstalled after a hard reset.

Note: Stable storage folders do not exist on all devices. For devices that do not feature a stable storage folder, SOTI MobiControl defaults to a standard folder on the file system. Optionally, you may use an external SD card as the stable storage folder. This option is not recommended in most scenarios, as removal of the SD card severely impacts the operation of the device agent.

Device Identifier

Sets the method used to create the unique identifier for each device.

List Agent in Remove Programs

Sets whether the device agent gets listed in the Remove Programs settings applet on the device. When this parameter is Off, the agent is not listed, preventing the device user from uninstalling it.

Deployment Server(s)

Sets the deployment server that the device agent connects to. The device agent connects to the deployment server to receive configuration information, software, and data. It is critical that the device be able to reach the IP address of the deployment server via the IP network of the device.

If the device uses a public network such as the Internet, you need to set up an externally routable address for your deployment server in the SOTI MobiControl Administration Utility. See SOTI MobiControl Administration for information on setting up an external IP address for the deployment server.

Note: Configure the deployment server before creating agents, as the address information gets embedded into the agent installer.

Set Windows Device Name

Sets the Windows device name to be the same as the system assigned name.
