The INRA/Montpellier SupAgro centre brings together around 30 research units, 2,500 workers from various research organisations and 1,500 students from the engineering school. They use a total of approximately 3,000 computer workstations that are managed by about 40 IT administrators. This installed computer base is diverse in terms of hardware, operating systems and software, the management of which is heterogeneous. For Windows clients, which make up the majority of the installed base, we were looking to provide a coherent and centralised application management strategy that was simple and inexpensive for the administrators. This solution had to be compatible with our Active Directory domain controller under general public licence (GPL) – Samba4. We selected the WAPT (Windows APT-get) solution licensed under GPLv3. The solution consists of storing the validated and packaged applications, thus guaranteeing their compliance, on a repository server (an APT-type repository) and allowing users to install them via a web portal. The solution includes a graphical centralised management console (waptconsole) that allows us to manage the applications or groups of applications (installation, updates, configuration and uninstall of applications, view deployment status) and to allocate them to workstations registered via an agent for client-side installation (waptagent). Here, we present the ease of implementing the repository server, the simplicity of creating and configuring the packets, the deployment methods for the local agent and applications and then updating them on the clients. Operational since October 2016, the solution currently manages more than 500 workstations and provides more than 60 validated applications.
