SiteScope and iwodserverstatus

Denise Bowker

We use SiteScope internally to monitor servers and services. One of the things we monitor is OpenDeploy by running the comment /bin/iwodserverstatus and look for the string "OpenDeploy server is alive".

We are upgrading to OD7.x on Windows Server 2008 R2 and found two issues that were easily corrected.

1) The userid being used by iwodserverstatus was domain\servername$ ( e.g. ****\myserver$ ) which needed to be added to the od-admin group within OpenDeploy.
2) the default folder was somewhere under c:\windows\... so we updated iwodserverstatus.bat to include a cd \somewhere\writeable.
