Download Provisioning Package

You can onboard fleet of devices to LDI platform through:

• Instructions and Agents (Preferred)
• Devices page (optional)

Click Help & Resources and then click Instructions & Agents. The Instructions
& Agents page appears.

• Select Windows (Physical) to onboard a physical device. For further details, refer to Install a Physical Device.

Install a Physical Device

1. Follow the instructions in Download Provisioning Package.
2. Click Confirm.
3. In the Maximum Usage drop-down list, select the number of devices on which you can download the provisioning package.
4. In the Installer Expiration drop-down list, select the days for which the provisioning pack installation is valid.

The package, organization-setup.zip which has the following components:

• install-ldi.bat – A script that has series of commands for installation for LDI software.

1. A Windows-based troubleshooting file package, LenovoDeviceIntelligence 0.0.75.0. diagcab. To know more about how to install, run, and create the Lenovo Device Intelligence. diagcab file, refer to Troubleshooting.
   2. README.txt file

2. udc_setup.exe – UDC setup, UDC Service information, and task control settings
   

Install Software Agent on Device

Note: The setup is unique for the organization and must not be shared.

Execute the following steps on every device in the fleet.

1. Copy the following files to an empty folder in the device, e.g., C:\temp\LDItemp

   • udc_setup.exe
     README.txt

   • install-ldi.bat

2. Execute the batch file as an Administrator.

   • Open the command prompt as an Administrator
   • Execute cd C:\temp\LDItemp
   • \install-ldi.bat

3. Confirm whether device onboarding was successful or not by checking for an
   error in the registry.

UDC records the error in the Windows Registry at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\LENOVO\UDC\Critical Transcript when onboarding fails.

If there is an error during installation, check the following error code table to identify the error and rectify it by following the remedial tips:

and check the connection to the UDS portal.

Track Device on LDI

1. Check the Devices page to track whether the device has been onboarded to the LDI or not.
2. Check the device status. If the status is:

• Pending – The device could not be onboarded because of an error. Check for the type of error code in the registry and follow the remedy tip provided for it in the error code table. This also includes devices that don’t have an assigned license.
• Active – Device has successfully onboarded and is currently online.
• Offline – Device has successfully onboarded and is currently offline.

Note: To get a license, follow these steps:

1. Select Device Manager → Devices.

2. Search for the device with ‘Unassigned License’.
   

3. Click Assign License.
   Offline – Devices that do not send data to the system for 1 hour.  These devices are moved from Active Status to Offline Status. If the device does not have a license, it becomes Unactivated with status Pending.

Raise a Ticket

Raise a ticket if the error persists even after following the remedial tip from the error code table.

Onboard Fleet from Devices Page (Optional)

You can also onboard the fleet of devices in your organization to LDI platform from the Devices page.

In the Devices page, click . The Instructions & Agents window appears. For
more details, refer to Download Provisioning Package.

Proxy

UDC uses a security feature called certificate pinning. UDC does not support the scenario where a proxy service in your environment performs TLS inspection (decrypting and reencry pting traffic using an alternate certificate). You must completely exclude the traffic for *.uds.Lenovo.com from the proxy or disable TLS inspection permanently for that endpoint. Please refer to your proxy service documentation for how to achieve this.

Current Support Matrix

• Leverages OS level proxy configuration
• Usage: Configure proxy information in OS using pac file or manual proxy setupc

Scenario| Configure UDC to use proxy| For UDC to work and If TLS inspection is enabled
---|---|---
Reaching to internet requires proxy| Use the OS level configuration Pac file as well as manual proxy setup| In proxy server, whitelist.uds.lenovo.com: 443 (include port 8883 if UDC agent older than 22.10.0.5)
Internet is reachable but proxy is also required to be setup| Use the OS level configuration Pac file as well as manual proxy setup| Whitelist .uds.lenovo.com at device levelORWhitelist *.uds.lenovo.com at proxy server

Troubleshooting

When you are unable to register your device in the LDI tool, you can run a tool that executes some routine checks, collect logs, and other device information that can be used to analys  the problem offline. Use the Lenovo Device Intelligence. diagcab file for troubleshooting, which you get with the Provisioning Package.

Pre-install Validation

Note the following information for the API accessibility in different settings:

APIReachability| Test-NetConnection-Port 443 api.naea1.uds.lenovo.comTest- NetConnection-Port 443 api.euwe1.uds.lenovo.com
---|---

Troubleshooting Process

Follow these steps to troubleshoot:

1. Double-click the Lenovo Device Intelligence. diagcab file. The following window appears.

2. Click Next to complete the installation.

3. After successful installation, the Troubleshooting report window appears.

Note: By default, the output is a zip file, and it also displays the location where the file is saved.

Uninstall UDC

Note: We recommend you use the Device Manager option to uninstall Universal Device Client (UDC) that ensures removal of UDC from both Windows and Driver Store.

1. In the device, open the Device Manager page.

2.  Select System devices and right-click Universal Device Client Device.

3.  Select Uninstall.
   Note: Select the Delete the driver software for this device check box.
   

4. Verify that there is no Universal Device Client Service in Device Manager or  running service.

5. Restart the device.

6. In the LDI portal, select Device Manager → Devices, search for that device  and click Delete.

Onboard Your Fleet in a Proxy Environment

You can onboard your device using proxy setups. Manual Proxy Setup section:

1. In the Address field, enter *.uds.lenovo.com
2. In the Port field, enter 443.
   

UDC and LDI support the following proxy configurations:

• You must configure proxy through WinINet (vs WinHTTP or a 3rd party  application / browser extension)
• Proxy server can reach *.uds.lenovo.com:443 (include port 8883 if UDC  agent older than 22.10.0.5)
• Proxy server does DNS resolving for client
• Proxy server does NOT support authentication

Note: UDC can register and sync telemetry on proxy environment by auto- detect the browser proxy settings (except if a user/password is required for such proxy access, which it is not supported). UDC always imports whatever is configured in the browser settings (WinINet) automatically, though manual setting is done for Win HTTP.
