edwimb commented on: Need help editing network discovery to omit bad DNS records
We just checked one of our machine names against DNS and it's not in DNS.  This same machine was built years ago and it has not been on the network or existed since.  It isn't in AD.  We have no idea where these old ...

edwimb posted: Need help editing network discovery to omit bad DNS records
Hello, We are running reports in Altiris 7.1 to show us what machines don't have an agent installed.  It looks like our database has a bunch of bad DNS entries in it.  We would like to remove these. We found an old post for Altiris 6.9 that shows settings for ...

edwimb commented on: Scripted OS installs that worked in the past now randomly succeed or fail
Is there a way to perform the scripted OS installs as 100 base instead of the nic using auto detect?  Our network requires the NIC's to be set to 100. This always worked in the past however.  I don't know why we would need to ...

Hello, I'm looking for an installer for Java 1.6.0_20 that will run without asking for updates. I did this for Java 1.6.0_07 by running this: \\server name\Packages\Java\Java6\jre1.6.0_07.msi /quiet TRANSFORMS="\\server ...

I ran the builds again on the 755 and 990.  The 755 went through this time without error.  The 990 again hung on a .net install.  They are running the same build.  No changes were made. We run WSUS.  If WSUS was causing ...

Hello, We've been doing scripted OS installs in DS 6.9 for some time.  We've run a Windows XP x86 one for years, and I created two Windows 7 x64 builds at the beginning of this year.  One for laptops and one for desktops. All of our machines are Dell ...

Jim, I am uninstalling the old agents.  I just happen to run this test on a machine that still had one on it. I believe my agent install script will work fine, but I'm having really strange issues with the rest of my build now.  It ...

I may have deployed this to a non clean machine.  I think it may have had a 6.9 agent on it, and our 6.9 agents were set to hide the tray icon.  Trying again.

I just ran it on a win 7 x64 client for a test and I show the service as running, but the tray icon isn't showing.  I rebooted, still not showing.  I'd like for it to show, as when you do this via the push in the console it ...

edwimb commented on: Installing 7.1 NS agents via 6.9 DS
Hi Jim, After thinking about this I need to have these installs as part of the build.  Our laptop users would be a pain to deploy the agent to using the other method. We do scripted OS installs.  I already have the DS agents working ...

Maybe I'll just have 7.1 scan for machines without agents and autoinstall them.  Seems easier than having to run all of these manually.  How would I set that up to exclude specific OU's in AD?

My 7.1 server is also running the inventory plug in.  I need to install the inventory agent along with the regular NS agent as well correct?

edwimb posted: Installing 7.1 NS agents via 6.9 DS
I'd like to have the 7.1 agent as part of my normal client build in 6.9 DS.  Is it as simple as just making a script to run AeXNSAgent.exe located on the 7.1 server or is there more to it than that? Right now I'm installing the agents in 7.1 by going to actions, agent, ...

edwimb commented on: Altiris 7.1, how do I search for a file by file name?
Under actions, Inventory, agent based; I then go to Policies, Discovery and Inventory, Inventory, and Collect Full Inventory.  That is enabled to run on a daily schedule.  Hardware is greyed out, but software and file properties are ...

I'm running Altiris 7.1 for reporting.  I have the agent on about 35 machines and growing.  My boss would like to be able to do a search for a file name and see the results. Under reports I went to Discovery and Inventory, Inventory, Cross-Platform, Software/Applications, ...

I never intended to not keep the aclient. The agents were not originally or at any point installed as SVS layers.

Whatever the default is.  I haven't touched it since I set this server up a few weeks ago.

It was the right command.  The SVS agent uninstall "messed up" the 7.1 agent.

I came in today and none of my machines had errors.  The inventory ran overnight.  The 7.1 agents and the aclient are running on the machine and are showing in the taskbar.  It loooks like uninstalling SVS did the trick, but it ...
