Error in BETA SIM installer
Hi
I get an error (see attachment) saying
Installation of SIM cannot proceed. The following requirement(s) were not met:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or latest Server edition of Windows is required.
when I fire up the SIM Installer. This seems REALLY odd given that I'm running Windows 2008 R2 Standard. What is the problem here? What can I do to get past this check so I can actually install the SIM?

Hi
I'm pretty sure the requirement for SMP 7.1 is Windows 2008 R2. That would explain your error (which is slightly different from mine).
Regards
Finn, You are correct, SMP
Finn,
You are correct, SMP 7.1 does indeed require Windows Server 2008 R2. However, you are getting this error when running SIM, is that correct? I have also installed the standard edition and am able to run SIM. Do you have .NET 3.5 SP1 installed?

The Pre-Req's for ITMS 7.1 is
The Pre-Req's for ITMS 7.1 is Windows 2008 R2 64bit, IIS 7.5 is also used but you need to also install version 6 compatibility. SQL 2008 is best too. Silverlight v3, Java 6 and adobe flash v10
Always this with and without R2 story.
Win 2008 R2 is clear. But what is with the SQL Server?
In the documentation I was not able to find if SQL Server 2008 R2 is allowed or not.
Altiris_IT_Management_Suite_B
Altiris_IT_Management_Suite_Beta_Guide_7.1_0.zip:
SQL Server: You can use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008 and install it on the same server as the platform. If Symantec Installation Manager does not detect a supported version of Microsoft SQL Server, it offers to install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express.
ITMS_7_1_BETA_Known_Issues.zip:
IT Anylytics: IT Anylictics does not currently work with SQL version 2008 R2. This issue is intended to be resolved before final release.
Pretty clear, isn't it? :)
Does IT Analytics work with
Does IT Analytics work with SQL 2008 but just not 'R2' ?
Based on
Based on the Altiris_IT_Management_Suite_Beta_Guide_7.1_0.zip I suppose the SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 are supported/recommended for ITSM 7.1 beta.
SQL 2008 R2 (better call it SQL2009 to avoid confusion) is supported only partly by ITSM 7.1 beta, so it is not recommended for use, but should be fully supported by ITSM 7.1 (not beta) afterwards.
SQL2008 R2
apparently R2 brought some pretty significant changes with it - initially, SEP wouldn't play nice with it either and we had to downgrade to plain 2008 to solve the problem. seems to me if it's going to be that significantly different, it needs a completely different version number, not just an incremental one. But then again, it seems MS is having fun making up their own versioning rules - witness the whole .net mess, and of course let's not forget Windows "7" :)

64bit required
You may find its 2008 Server R2 64bit that is needed. As far as I know, 7.1 will not run on a 32bit OS
Windows 2008 R2 only exist in
Windows 2008 R2 only exist in a 64 bit version so that is a given :-)
Regards,
Skip prerequisites
Just a thought but do any of the following work?
To disable the check for SIM prerequisites:
Add the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\AIM to the registry.
Create a DWord called IgnoreInstallPrerequisites and set the value to 1.
To enable the Next button if any of the install Readiness checks fail:
Add the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\AIM\InstallRea dinessCheck\ to the registry. Create a DWord called EnableNextbutton and set the value to 1
SQL Compatibility
Also install Silverlight v3, Java 6 and adobe flash v10.

It seems like you still cant 'easily' see if a computer is active or not in the DS 7.1 console....am i wrong?
Correct. There currently is
Correct. There currently is not an indicator of status like there is with the DS 6.x win32 console.

Indicators
Justin - is this something that's planned?
I'd love to see the return of something we had in Livestate - an indicator on the actual computer icon showing when that computer is doing something or has a problem. I remember the red lightning bolt for when a job failed on a given machine being the most-requested feature from my users when we migrated from LSD to Altiris 6.9.
Also useful would be other indicators showing other activity. Perhaps an icon of a CD on the pc indicating that it's imaging, or an hourglass showing that it's waiting for something. For me, the little clock showing that it was on a 30-day license in 6.9 was useless, so maybe that could be re-purposed?

Fully agree
I know there was an 'idea' created some time back to have this brought back (along with the blue copy clipboard from NS6)
I think if they arent being brought back, it would be really great if Symantec could explain why not, it may help us understand the reasoning behind it.
***updated*** thanks Justin, just seen your comment now
Possible bug with security roles
Has anyone seen this? While I can add a user account and tie it to a role such as Symantec Administrators in domain format "Domain\user".....I cannot get this to work for groups in this format: "domain\groupname".
For now, I will have to setup everyone individually, howeve that is a pain as we are a huge enterprise.
I have been trying to add
I have been trying to add users, under Accounts, but it won't let me. It says something about the username not being able to contain certain characters. I was typing domain/username. Did you do anything other than that to get it working?

If your question has been resolved, please be sure to "Mark as Solution"! Thank you.
Probably you meant to type
Probably you meant to type 'domain\username', the back slash is the valid charactor.
Account creation in SMP 7.1 beta
At first you should create a user account in the format 'DIGIT' or 'BASIC', which in turn must be associated with the External > Windows account in the format "Domain \ UserAccount"(see attached example). Thus you can not just create an account in the format "Domain \ UserAccount". Respectively, after creating an account you can add it to one of the security roles.
screenshot1
There is a new AD Import rule
There is a new AD Import rule has been created to help import all these domain groups:
It's called the 'Role and Account' import rule and it is used to import domain groups.
When importing a domain group using the 'Role and Account' rule, a SMP Role gets created for the domain group; If the domain group contains sub domain groups, SMP roles will be created respectively for the sub groups, as nested roles to the main domain group; If the domain group contains domain users, SMP Accountswill be created respectively for the domain users, and be members of the SMP role created for the domain group.
For those using the Real Time
For those using the Real Time System Manager Redirection, the .dll fix for this is now available and attached as Altiris.PluggableProtocols.AMTRedirSvcTypeLibrary.zip.
Here's the information from the "Known Issues" doc and how to apply this fix:
Real-Time System Manager : The redirection functionality is blocked.
To resolve this, do the following:
1. Download .zip from the 7.1 Beta Symantec Connect page.
2. Extract the "Altiris.PluggableProtocols.AMTRedirSvcTypeLibrary.dll" file.
3. Copy the file to the "C:\windows\assembly" folder.
4. Run "iisreset" command in command line.
Workflow Explorer Credentials
there is not an option to define a port when adding an Active Directory default connection
where to submit issue?
Not quite sure where to submit "issues" that we come up. In any case here is my list so far from 1 day of testing:
- can't type a "0" for purchase cost of software. This is in the silverlight screen called "Add license purchase".
I would expect it to know that I am already managing the software
- when I right click on a managed software from the "software release" section I have the full menu. When I go to the "Managed Software"
section and right click on the same software resouce I only have 2 options, quick and managed delivery. I would expect the full menu show up
on the found link. After that the link showed up.
- when adding a new driver under the "driver database management" screen, it tells me that the driver already exists, then I click on ok indefinitely without the window closing
After clicking cancel I see that indeed my new driver has been imported to what seems successfully.
- when booting a machine to PXE I get a TFTP open timeout error on the client machine

Symantec_CMDB Creation Issue
Installing the 7.1 Beta on a Win2008R2 box with SQL2008 Sp1 (NOT R2).
The SIM/installation process isn't creating the Symantec_CMDB database which isn't helping the end user experience much :)
I've checked User rights for the service account and logged on account, they're fine (I can log on as both of them and create a db manually)
They are both Admins on the box itself. There's plenty of disk space.
The installation windows can see the db and bring back a list of dbs in the "Create new/use existing" section.
Windows Firewall is turned off, all pre-reqs are met.
I'm a bit stumped tbh - any ideas?
Thanks

Database
I have a similar setup, the only step I did additionally during the database config , was create a login for the service account in SQL giving it additional rights (as well as making it a local admin) but that could just be how I installed the system. This went onto create the Symantec_CMDB database automatically.
Sounds like your config should be working already with everything you have done.
Ricodjs, Can you provide any
Ricodjs,
Can you provide any additional information such as where SQL Server is installed(i.e., on-box or off-box), which products were being installed, screenshots of any errors, etc? Are you able to get past the Database Configuration screen of the installation wizard? Thanks.

Hello, i have probably
Hello,
i have probably similar issue. all the step before the installation itself are passed without any error, just after the download and installation i got the "Error During Installation" screen saying "Configuration of one or more products failed; see the log for details. To attempt configuration again, reinstall the product."
Tried several times to reinstall the server where A7.1beta is being installed without any change, still the same error.
Server is VMware ESXi Virtual machine with 2CPUs and 4GB of memory.
SQL server 2008 SP1 installed off-box, already running other solutions.
Both servers are in the same domain, using same domain account as administrator (SQL has been installed with this account, so it is SQL admin with full access rights)
During the setup of A7.1beta the name of database has been changed to CMDB_A71beta. "Use Windows Authentication" has been selected. Connection verification passed successfully. After installation process there is no database called CMDB_A71beta on the off-box SQL server.
Only the "Altiris IT Management Suite" is selected on the "Install New Products" screen with "Product Type" and "Suites" Filters
The only log file I found is stored in C:\Program Files\Altiris\Symantec Installation Manager\InstallHistory\PerfLogs and there is no error mentioned:

You can find SIM installation
You can find SIM installation logs in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\local\temp\1(might be a different number, but usually 1)\SIM Logs\, they might shed more light on the problem you experiencing.
Make sure to turn 'Show hidden files, folder and drives' on and 'Hide protected OS files' off.
Fixed DB issue
Ended up reinstalling SQl and using the App identity to create a blank db. I then selected "use Existing" and pointed to this blank DB in the installation routine and voila...I think the SIM should be clever enough to figure out there's no DB and stop there though....

Hi,
i checked the log files, but i do not know how to solve those errors mentioned there.
Also tried to create DB manually on the off-box server before the installation procedure, but i got the same error and the DB remains untouched.
Can someone please check the log files for me and let me know what should i do to complete the installation of this beta?

Found the answer
From the PCAnywhere Windows Settings
under Authentication type: NT
you need to enable
"Support the global NT users and the groups that are defined in local NT groups."
I can now authenticate with our AD credentials.

VMM License has been posted
VMM License has been posted in the ITMS_7_1_Beta_Licenses_VMM.zip file attached to this blog entry. (see the original post).
The license file only has the VMM license file.
upgrade path...
so... since 7.0 cannot be installed on server 2008r2 and 7.1 requires 2008r2... this sounds like there's no possible way to upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1.
am i correct in this statement, or is it possible to install 7.0 in a 64bit server OS so that it's actually possible to "just" upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1?
If a Connect post helped you out, be sure to click "Mark As Solution" or the "Thumbs Up" button to let other users know about it.
The way Symantec are talking
The way Symantec are talking about it right now is to build a new server but use the existing DB so in effect you are performing an upgrade on the DB.
duh...
thank you for your clarity. i feel like a dummy now, since very little is actually on the altiris server - it's all in sql.
the reason i phrased it the way i did is because we don't have a 7.x environment yet - we're still on 6.x, and planning to implement 7 very soon. thing is, our time table doesn't line up with symantec's release time table, so we will have to start out with ITMS 7.0 and then within less than a year, update to 7.1.
I just don't want to have to do everything twice! I'd love to just install 7.1 and be done with it, but since we intend to start rolling out Windows 7 in June, and symantec's expected release date for 7.1 is march... well, you can see where this is going. Considering the issues we're having simply INSTALLING 7.1 beta, we certainly can't just jump the gun and begin using it in production (nevermind the whole EULA... heh)
at least the current release of ITMS has DS 7.1 which has PXE. that was a big hangup for a lot of companies.

Where I work at in the the
Where I work at we are in the the same boat. We're merging two AD forests which will end up tripling the amount of users and computers that we are currently managing with Altiris 6.x. We probably won't go wide spread migrating the masses until Feb/Mar, but we need to test and pilot our systems before we start the rollout and we can't wait until March for this.
I intend on rolling out 7.0 to the systems that are currently being managed by the 6.x server(s), and then build all the future NS servers as 7.1 when we look at rolling out the management to the rest of all the assets. Hopefully by then we can get the other half of the IT staff comfortable with Altiris, since currently the more accustomed to using just RDP and Windows Group Policy.

This is consistent with 7.0 as well. I see it only when I am logged directly on the server. Seems like a silverlight issue to me but I'm no developer. I am pretty sure I have tried IE 7 and 8 with the same results.
It is really annoying too.......but not quite as annoying as Altiris support on hold music ;)
Still not corrected.
I only see the problem with Software Update Policies for Microsoft(of course). Very anoying. Anyone know how to correct the problem? Until that is resolved I cannot test PM.

i'd venture a guess and say it's the same things you had to do to the ns (smp) server to meet install prereq's. the asp.net and iis6 compatibility items found in the role admin. i didn't encounter this as our site servers are all 2003 boxes.

Still Unresolved
Anybody have any clue on this. I am still unresolved on this issue.
Site Management | Site Services | Package Management | Adding a Package Service to a Site Server produces the error:
“One or more of the selected servers has IIS7 installed. Additional configuration steps are required for IIS7. Please refer to the SMP documentation for more details.”
The Site Servers with Package Service installed shows “Install Pending” indefinitely.
The Site Server did pass prereq checks for IIS and asp.net and installed ITMS successfully.
Hi, DanCatBYU: I had a
Hi, DanCatBYU:
I had a similar situtation when adding the role of Package Server to a server.
Have a look at this link:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH46601
At the end (at least in my case), the problem came because we had a few folders missing, and some files had 0 bytes in size.
Good luck:

Kind regards:
Falquian
Thanks Falquian!
I was having the issue too where I could not add the Package Service. Sure enough, that article says verify ASP.Net and when I checked the service was stopped and set for manual. You saved me a lot of time, thanks kind sir!

Now I'm getting these errors.
Same Errors
I saw these a few times as well last Thursday and Friday, I thought maybe it was my network, so I rebuilt my infrastructure (VM's) and moved my VM's to a blade with better connectivity. I did 2 installs today and have yet to see the error.
I get the download errors too
"the following files have failed to validate"
Any word on a fix?
I would also like an update
I would also like an update on this please. This is preventing my Servicedesk testing. The management console installed ok though.

Thanks,
Paul.
Spoke too soon
OK. I have the error now. Looks like it's with the same file, the _unixagent_
Beta Licenses
Hi,

Please help asap!

Same issue as others: Following files have failed to validate.
A file not found error has occurred while trying to download or copy.

This started last week for me. Have contacted support but have not had any response. This has already set us back on our project plan as we begin planning for a version 6 to 7.1 upgrade.

Just received an email from Susan Keller regarding Following files have failed to validate:
"I had someone fix the files in the solutionsam\solutions\7\qa\7_1
Tp8\x64 directory the other day.
-Susan"
My download has gotten past the altiris_unixagent_7_1_kb53309_x64.msi so it looks as if we are back in business.
I need new licenses as well.
I need new licenses as well.
Do you have 7.0 licenses...
These appear to work with the 7.1 beta

We got the same issues...
We are getting the same errors with the installation of IT management suite.
Seems that that the needed files are removed from the server.
Symantec, please put them back in place, thanks!
Stopping the beta release phase is too much annoying...
Hi,
How can we test a product not available anymore...
We agree that you have to work on it and pass some polish on the code but come on... 3 months without anything between the beta cut and the final release.
We exactly know what is a beta version and we accept the bugs and the consequences.
Is it not enough to let it released?
Cheers.
This is setting us back on our project plan
I was trying to do a clean install so I could show my management what things were in store for the new version and couldn't download the files any more. This has pushed the project out because management didn't get to see what they wanted to and now I have to wait till the first part of March for the release date which no doubt will be pushed.
Like posted above we know this is beta but I was working on documentation and setting up filters, task and other things that could be copied over to the official version. It would be nice to continue doing this until the release.
