This Lab is about Deploying PPDM msappsagent Exchange Agent(s)
Make sure you prepared the environment using ansible_ppdm_agents
Make sure the VM´s exchange1 and exchange2 are started
ansible-playbook ../playbooks/start_stop_vms_by_vm_names_query.yaml -e vm_names='exchange' -e state=start
Validate agent hosts Group “exchgangehosts” ping-able vi winrm
ansible exchangehosts -m win_ping -i hosts.yaml
Note: it might take a bit longer for the Exchange Hosts to serve winrm via HTTPS, so no panig when there is a red response. Retry
As we honly want to tackle the group named exchangehosts, we use the –limit parameter
ansible-playbook ~/workspace/ansible_ppdm/100.3_playbook_copy_and_deploy_windows_agent.yaml -i hosts.yaml --limit exchangehosts,
View Agent registration Status
ansible-playbook ~/workspace/ansible_ppdm/100.5_get_agent_registration_status.yaml
Agent not Showing Up ??
Smetimes the AgentService, even deployed successfully, doesn´t register with the PPDM Host. This might be due to an delayed agent startup issue.
The following runbook will try to start the Agent:
ansible-playbook ~/workspace/ansible_ppdm/100.3_playbook_check_AgentService.yaml -i hosts.yaml --limit echangehosts,
Approve Exchange Agents
We want to tackle the addresses of the hsost as they show up from above query, so we will use a runbook that queries the agentn list from name to address:
ansible-playbook ~/workspace/ansible_ppdm/100.4_create_whitelistentry_from_addressquery.yaml -e "host_list=exchange1.demo.local,exchange2.demo.local"
View Agent registration Status
ansible-playbook ~/workspace/ansible_ppdm/100.5_get_agent_registration_status.yaml
