Hi,

During internal testing, we simulated network issues (Wifi and Ethernet):

Disconnection: remove the cable or shutting down the access point
Unavailibility: shut down the Internet access while the network connection is still established with the Mac

Depending the method of deployment, the behaviour is not the same:

Installomator: endless loop (or not...); the solution consists of quitting Setup Manager qui Cmd-Ctrl-Shift-E
Policy: the item is ticked as correctly deployed (green checkmark) and obviously it's not the case

So it should be helpful to:

Detect and inform the user of network issues
Visually indicate (red cross?) what deployment tasks fail

Thanks,
Emmanuel Canault

Great 🙂!

May I suggest a blue icon, as the globe is clickable like the About... and ? menus?
Also I saw a little typo in the french translation: it should be Vitesse de transfert, with a final t instead of Vitesse de transfer (line 122 of the Localizable.strings file of the fr.lproj)

Thanks!

first implementation towards this, a network status icon and logging of network changes in the log is in 1.3

we tried several icon color combinations. since the icon gets accent colored overlays when the network is offline or Network Relay is enabled, we figured the gray actually works best

Thanks for the localization typo! It will be fixed in the next update!
