Hi. I have a batch of new devices which have all been preauthorized but haven’t yet been online. I need to deploy a release to this device group so that when they do come online, they immediately take the update. How do I do this? It currently fails to create the deployment as there aren’t yet any accepted devices in the group. Many thanks. ---

I think this question was already asked [here](https://hub.mender.io/t/deployment-management-for-failures-and-new-devices/1516) ? My solution is to have agent that polls the server and auto deploys. ---

Many thanks, I hadn’t found that previous question. Yes, that’s exactly what I’ve done to get around the problem.
