Configurable parameters
Parameter | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|
Name | Install and Configure Nomad | Name for the custom task sequence action. |
Description | Action to Install and configure Nomad in WinPE | Description for the custom task sequence action. |
License key | Mandatory field. | |
Workrate | 80 | Sets the work rate. This is the proportion of available (free) bandwidth to use. |
P2P Port | 1779 | Port used to broadcast election messages. |
SpecialNetShare | 8224 (0x2020) | Must be an integer. See more SpecialNetShare for more information |
P2PEnabled | 9 | Must be an integer. See P2PEnabled for more information. |
CompatibilityFlags | 0x100002 | Must be an integer. See CompatibilityFlags for more information. |
Multicast support | 0 | Enables different levels of multicast support. See MulticastSupport for more information. If the value is not 0, the MADCAP scope and multicast TTL fields are enabled. |
MADCAP scope | MADCAP scope for multicast. Either a scope name, or of the form <MADCAP_ServerIP> ,<MADCAP_Scope_IP> ,<TTL> or <MADCAP_ServerIP> , <MADCAP_Scope_IP> . See MultiCastMADCAPScope for more information. | |
Multicast TTL | Optional multicast time to live. See MultiCastMADCAPScope for more information. | |
Disable firewall | Enabled by default. | Disables the Windows PE firewall so that NomadPackageLocator and Nomad can communicate with other peers on the local network. |
Log file size | 10485760 (10MB) | Sets the maximum size for the Nomad log file. |
Enable single site download | Disabled by default. | Enables the SSD feature. For Nomad running in WinPE, sets the SSDEnabled registry value to 0x1 so that SSD is enabled but the machine will be set to just retrieve downloads via SSD and not to put themselves forward to provide content. |
WakeUp | 0 (disabled) | Enables WakeUp integration. If not 0, sets the WakeUpEnabled registry value to enable peers to be woken if necessary to supply the content. |
ActiveEfficiency URL | "" | Sets the location of the ActiveEfficiency Web service, usually of the form |
Max. machines from ActiveEfficiency | 10 | Specifies the maximum number of devices (i.e. machines) with content (package, application or software update) that Nomad may ask from the ActiveEfficiency server in one call. Separate calls are made for local devices (for WakeUp only) and site devices (for SSD and WakeUp). The maximum value is 20. |
WakeUp batch size | 10 | Specifies the maximum number of machines to wake up in one call, for subnet and site separately. (So up to twice this number of requests will be sent in total if wakeup is enabled for both subnet and site.) The next batch will be launched, if necessary, after a re-election (usually a periodic election). The value cannot be greater than the maximum number of machines from ActiveEfficiency and hence itself cannot be more than 20. |
Non-Configurable settings
Setting | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|
P2PElectionWeight | 10 | Helps determine the outcome of Nomad elections. The higher the value the more chances the machine has to win the election. |
EncryptionType | 0 | Determines the type of encryption used by Nomad to encrypt its license key and communications between Nomad peers. |
