How to view the SMP/Altiris agent diagnostics when the systray icon is hidden 

Mar 22, 2011 01:23 PM

Issue:

I have often wanted to be able to view the agent diagnostics windows when the client tray icon is hidden.  And I always heard it wasn't possible.  So I searched and I didn't find anything.

So I did a bit of testing and I found the following method for v.7 agents.  Let me know if it works for you.

Resolution:

From the command prompt run the following command lines for the indicated pages

Accessing the Agent Diagnostics Pages when the tray icon is hidden
Function Commandline
Diagnostics Window AeXAgentActivate.exe {E8B8B9D4-A461-4E19-
9F14-B72E5110F631}
Network Diagnostics Window AeXAgentActivate.exe {1D588FDC-D1DA-40DD-
99F7-D43D161F043E}

These should get you to any tab/page you want.

If you can't remember the Guids (neither can I ;-) or you can't get to the web to copy them, you can find them in the registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\Altiris Agent\Plugin Objects\Sheets\{E8B8B9D4-A461-4E19-9F14-B72E5110F631}

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\Altiris Agent\Plugin Objects\Sheets\{1D588FDC-D1DA-40DD-99F7-D43D161F043E}

P.S.  Remember to register the diagnostics dll (regsvr32 c:\"program files\altiris\altiris agent"\aexagentdiagnostics.dll) before trying to access these pages or it won't work.
