We are trying to use Otter's abilities to configure servers to install roles, yet if there are built in operations for doing this, we've not been able to find them. I would imagine that I could use PSCall with enable-windowsoptionalfeature commands, but are there any better ways?

I think they mean that they want to be able to "recycle" the container, hence needing it to be abvle to have password changes.

I uploaded some PowerShell script assets to my Otter server, and per the PSCall documentation, what would be the most appropriate method of calling the script? It's basically a bunch of enable-WindowsOptionalFeature cmdlet calls, so, no arguments/value pairs like in the documentation. (BTW, most of the available documentation errors out with http 404.) Thanks for any support you can provide.

the truth? You can't. You have to read between the lines. Yes, ProGet free instances can host public instances, sure, but not private ones. You also can't have a private and a public feed on the same instance, but that's due to IIS lack of support for two different forms of authentication being able to run concurrently at the same time.

That's actually pretty awesome. that's exactly what I was sort of thinking of doing.

Hi all,
Was wondering about this one. I'll have two ProGet servers: one for the internal project staff to use, while the other will be on the outside for the public to use and benefit from (anonymous authentication). The internal one; most of us are Chocolatey users, so in light of Otter also being on the scene to help configure new servers, I'm assuming that it might be beneficial to add a connector to the Chocolatey Repository both for workstations to use (configure Choco to point initially to our ProGet server), and then on the server side in combination with Otter? (Otter flips to ProGet, flips to Choco). Is this more complex of a configuration than we need? Does it seem like I'm trying to use a ProGet feature just because it's there? If so, are any alternative configurations suggested by the community? Thanks.

I second this. Need to learn Markdown, though

Hi all,
This is a very nice snag to run up against on a Saturday evening: I have granted permissions to myself via my AD account, in Otter (I'm sure this will apply to the other products as well when I run them), and while I can see on the assign privileges page that my account has permissions, when I click to switch to AD, I get the error that the administer Configure Otter Task permission is not present. How is this if the user account does indeed have access to the administer task? Thanks for any help; this is driving me insane because I want to get that side of the infrastructure up so that I can start on some more projects. as an aside, a delay happened when a database server had to be rebuilt.

That was the first thing I tried to get, though the server sort of hung at the last step, and I couldn't see it right from the installer page. Is there a folder where the logs would have been saved perhaps? They're probably still there if so. I'll be honest. Wasn't so much the server itself hanging as it was a screen reading software I was using to access it.

I've never seen this before; trying to Install Otter, with the settings set to be hosted in IIS, runs the services under a custom account, and uses a database on a remote SQL Server instance. The first run produced a stop error of service installation terminating in an error 2 code, and then the second time, gave a 500 Internal Server error? Both instances are running on a Windows server 2016 VM. I've not tried any of the other installers to see if they produce the same affect, but you'd expect for errors to be consistent when running the same application with no changes to the underlying environment, wouldn't you? Very strange ... Might try a manual install just to get the task completed, though wish I could run through the installer without a hitch. every other version of any of your software have produced errors during install on something, to my immediate reckoning, though.
