Message Send Failure
Sending a simple message to multiple computers fails. Using all program defaults (individually sending a message works fine). On error: Continue for the step.
I've canceled and restarted. I restarted the PDQ Deploy Service. No change.

These are my deployment settings. I am deploying to all my clients.
What error do you get when the deployment fails?
There was no error message. It turns out it takes for EVER to run. It took over twenty minutes just to start. It remained (and still does) in queue for a long time before it even starts.
Also, there should be a different icon for when a deployment is canceled. Instead of using the failed icon with red, the one with the Yellow triangle should be used, because it did not fail. It was canceled for X reasons; i.e. it hung for too long.
I updated the PDQ suit just to see if it makes a difference.
I deployed to 800 targets. It's been 5 minutes and it hasn't even started on 1. This package is for the removal of NotePad++. It is a very quick uninstall, but it still takes forever. I already have it set to deploy in chunks but it seems it's not doing it.
Current server specs are Win Server 2016, 16GB RAM, Xeon Silver 4214 2.4GHz.
In my experience, deployments with lots of targets take some time to get started. Be patient with it.
Yeah. That's what the concurrent targets/chunk setting is supposed to alleviate. 30 minutes so far. No deployments.
How many targets in the chunk?
It's in the original post screenshot, 40.
40 is how many you're allowing to run at once. I have mine set to 8 and 32:
How many targets do you have in your deployment?
I had 800 targets. Either way, it should've run as it's done in the past (with large deployments), just in chunks.
I'd be happy to get on a Zoom or something with you and take a look at it with you.
It definitely shouldn't take that long to start. I recommend contacting support@pdq.com
