1E 8.1 (on-premises)

SpecialNetShare

0x2060 (8288)

You can set more than one option at the same time by combining the bit values. For example, to have custom share permissions and use the machine account for access to the Nomad share, set the value for SpecialNetShare to 129 (decimal value 1+128 or 0x0081 hex). See for more detail on configuration and security.

The default value in different versions has changed, based on feedback. Upgrading does not change the value unless explicitly set.

The default used in all versions of Client Deployment Assistant (and earlier Endpoint Agent Installer) is 0x2070 (8304):

Custom Share Permissions: Administrators configure and manage custom share permissions. The service doesn't create the NomadSHR share on start-up, leaving the administrator to manually create it and set the permissions. It is also not deleted when the service stops and therefore existing share permissions are preserved.

Use HTTP/S or SMB. Ensure that this is set if Nomad integration is used by Tachyon. HTTP/S is automatically used if CM client is detected.

Web LSZ generation: enables the Nomad client on Configuration Manager standalone DPs to handle LSZ file generation requests coming from HTTP/HTTPS enabled clients.

Used when Nomad clients are configured with either of the following enabled:

When enabled, the Nomad distribution point client creates a virtual folder called LSZFILES. The permissions for this are copied from the Configuration Manager SMS_DP_SMSPKGX$ share. By default, access to the LSZFILES folder requires SSL to be enabled. This is the case for Internet facing scenarios where local client access certificates will ensure authentication. If you are using HTTP instead of HTTPS, manually disable SSL on the LSZFILES web folder in order for the Nomad LSZ file generation process to work.

Only needs to be enabled when using HTTP or HTTPS on standalone DPs; it is not required on site server DPs because Nomad automatically configures Web LSZ generation on them.

Use HTTP/S only, not SMB: enables the Nomad client to download content using HTTPS or HTTP depending on the content location provided by Configuration Manager or Tachyon. The Nomad client will not use SMB to download content when this is enabled.
