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.
