Return Code -99
Updated: 26 Oct 2009 | 6 comments
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.
Has anyone found a way in NS
Has anyone found a way in NS 7.1 deployment portal to make a task with return code 1641 return success? I have seen where you can do conditions based on a return code, but I need one that says if 1641->Success.
We always add success codes
We always add success codes to the software delivery package and that seems to work. Is that method not working for you?
There is a master list under all settings
that is used to define the codes, and there are quite a few populated, but it is NOT used to set a master success\fail, like DS6.9 has. As luisdg has said, you have to set it per package.

1641 error by script cmd line
i know with a package job you can classify your success codes, but is anyone aware of a way to do it for tasks that are sumbited by script or command line?
We are using this upgrade to Office 2010, but there doesnt seem to be a way to specify a success code for these....unless i'm wrong?
