Problem



Altiris.ASDK.Agent.PackageServerAgentLib Get Packages does not return data that can be used. Instead errors occur if you attempt to interrogate the data contained in the returned object.


Error



If the sample script (Agent Package Server.vbs) is run on a package server the vbs error, "The remote procedure call failed" is returned. Other errors are returned in other situations but always when trying to read the object returned by the Packages method.


Cause



Underlying cde on the Package Server object returns incorrectly formatted data.


Solution



The Orion release of SMP will address this issue..
