Does anyone know if there is a way to pass an Altiris Client machine's Package Server or Task Server to the OS as an environment variable automatically? I do not want this to be statically set as machines move around.
The reason for asking is we are working on setting up deployment for Office 365 Pro Plus and within the configuration.xml file we would like to use \\%Taskserver%\path-to-updates for the machine to pull down Office updates. We do not want 100 machines (or more) to go out to Microsoft and download 1GB or more each month on Patch Tuesday! It seems to me there must be a way to get the OS to know or have set the task server or package server as an environment variable.
As a side note, in our environment, each package server is also a task server so either will work.
Thanks for any insight on either topic you can provide!
