I'm not seeing anything in the log files. Post-provisioning, check that you have the following RPMs installed: rhncfg-management rhncfg-client rhncfg rhncfg-actions And check that configuration management is allowed: # rhn-actions-control --report deploy is enabled diff is enabled upload is enabled mtime_upload is enabled run is enabled If you don't have the RPMs, the rhn-actions-control won't work. If you're not installing the RPMs as part of the provisioning process (i.e. if they're not available in any channel enabled for kickstart), then the enabling options won't work. Thanks Avi. Here's the output on a machine that I *just* deployed: [root@vmpr-res-head-node ~]# rpm -qa | grep rhncfg rhncfg-5.10.85-1.el7.noarch rhncfg-actions-5.10.85-1.el7.noarch rhncfg-client-5.10.85-1.el7.noarch rhncfg-management-5.10.85-1.el7.noarch [root@vmpr-res-head-node ~]# rhn-actions-control --report deploy is enabled diff is enabled upload is enabled mtime_upload is enabled run is enabled So everything looks right from that perspective. But, no file deployment?
