Deployment Architecture

Deployment Server .conf changes

Hello,
I am trying to set up a deployment server in splunk. I'm only testing on one server at the moment just to see how this works. What I am trying to do is change a .conf file in a universal forwarder.

The deployment server and universal forwarder client both are windows server 2008.
I added the .conf file to the repository but I don't know how to make it go to the
path C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\etc\system\local path.
Its a simple .conf file that tells what wmi information to collect.

Thank you very much in advance.
Brent.

Does splunkforwarder service account has full right on his installation folder and subfolder?
