Return Code -99
After upgrading to SP1 for NS7, I started receiving a Return Code of -99 on every Software Delivery Task.
I talked with Altiris support about a -99 return code, and he said it is a general return, nothing specific.

Turns out I needed to update my agents. Go to Settings>Agents/Plug-ins>All Agents/Plug ins
Then browse Agents/Plug-ins>Altiris Agent>Windows>Altiris Agent for Windows - Upgrade
I turned on the policy, let my agents update and got that marvelous Return code of 1641 which means a reboot has been initiated. Now I just need to tell my package not reboot, or that 1641 is a success. Thank Altiris guy that helped me.
I've run into -99 with
I've run into -99 with Task Server 6 quite a bit. It was a package download issue where the download failed, the file didn't exist or the file was corrupted. I'm hoping since SWD is better in 7 that I won't run into it after our upgrade.
Task Server 6
I ran into of problems with TS 6 too, luckily so far I've been pretty happy with SWD in 7. The simple sequencing of tasks is really, really nice.
