67GTV posted: SEP Architecture: SEPMs Connected or Independent?
Greetings, I need to build a case for running three SEPMs connected to each other, or for running them independently. We have three locations, approximately 250 clients, all on one Svr2003 domain. I know the major reasons in favor of connecting SEPMs, are redundancy and load balancing. However, I cannot locate any recommendations (or caveats) for running independent SEPMs. The ...

Laurent_ commented on: Remotely running tpconfig -emm_dev_list to get detailed drive status
It looks like the command vmoprcmd -h remote_server -dp ad gives the missing information (RecMID and ExtMID) and I could join on the drive index coming from the previous command:                                ADDITIONAL DRIVE STATUS Drv ...

teiva-boy commented on: Backup Exec 2012, Nexenta CIFS and two NICs
Editing the host file correctly is the sure fire to make this work.  I do this all the time in Netbackup shops, EMC Networker, and with BackupExec.  When done right, the client machine looks to see if it's looking for itself, looks to the host file; then looks to DNS in that order. Backup apps are HIGHLY dependant on DNS, and a backup app is a great way to find out when one is ...

Dennis S. commented on: How to get list of updates for agents and media server?
yeah I need documentation for updates to agents because the others on my team want to know what is being updated before pushing updates out even though it is symantec best practices to just blindly throw updates on there as they come out.  we are trying to minimize down time.

Clint commented on: Patch deployment - bulletins in one update limited to 50
I agree as well although was curious how much of a performance hit will the clients see if you bunch too many updates into a single policy?  I'm more concerned about client-side resource utilization since my SMP server's hardware is worlds better than my Altiris 6 server.

sandra.g commented on: windows 7 installation dialog box appearing when sep is pushed to client silently
Make sure you configure a custom Client Install Settings prior to doing Remote Push that explicitly has the "Select an installation type" in the Install Tab set to "Silent". The default install settings is set to "Show progress bar only". Admin > Install Packages > Client Install Settings > Tasks > Add Client Install Settings... Then when doing Remote Push for a new package, you can choose ...

nbernhart posted: Possible to control how many devices a user can activate?
I'm about to start running a trial of Mobile Management and was curious about how to control the number of devices activated per user. Example: If a user has an iPhone and and iPad, is it possible to specify that they are only permitted one device activation? If I get 300 licenses, I would like to ensure that means 300 users get to activate a device... not 150 users activating 2 ...

Andrea Lelli posted: Strange Case of W32.Xpaj.B: Patient Zero
A number of days ago, we observed a new variant of the W32.Xpaj.B virus and we blogged all of the initial details about its new features and how the outbreak sample is the patient zero of the infection. We have now done more analysis and the conclusion is in: there is no outbreak and W32.Xpaj.B is not coming back, at least for now. From the analysis we uncovered the ...

stewfire posted: enhancing Netbackup GUI for monitoring
Hello I am responsible for monitoring failures (as well as fixing and rerunning jobs) on Netbackup. When a failure appears, it's red (or a partial failure is yellow). For me I like to fix and rerun a failed job then delete the job from the activity monitor. For me the failure no longer has an value since a successful follow occurred. Another person on my team would rather ...

bfordz posted: window 7 64bit won't update
I just added a windows 7 pro 64bit system to our network, after installing I don't get the green dot on the Gold shield and no updates. SEPM is at 11.0.6100.645 Windows 7 client is at 11.0.7000.975 I used the SEPM deployment wizard to push the load out to the client; all went OK. I can use my browser to log onto the SEPM; I can telnet to the server ( I think); when I ...

CRZ commented on: No Email from NetBackup since 7.5 Upgrade
It's been a busy week.  :)  If you're still having problems, I would ask you to triple-check the email address specified in the Disaster Recovery tab - it's the only configuration I can think of off the top of my head that would be the difference between your script working as nbmail.cmd and not working as mail_dr_info.cmd.

Ching-Yoong commented on: ncflbc Logs for Exchange GRT backup on client is highly verbose after upgrade to Netbackup 7.5
The C :\ of our exchange server fill up again last night. This is due to ncflbc folder with huge logs again after we patch the client with NBU 7.5.0.1. I check that the debuglevel for 311 is reseted back to 1 again after the patching. I have to do this again \NetBackup\bin\vxlogcfg -a -p 51216 -o 311 -s DebugLevel=0

Nelo commented on: Backup Image for servers with Teamed NICS
backup only works when redeploying to the same machine. I believe the prepare for image capture removes the necessary components to make the image deployable to other machine.
