I hate Symantec Portal....

OK so when I log in to that portal (with my old Altiris credentials), it lets me in, but then I have to update my Contact Info. Great... but when I do and click Submit, it says "that email already exists"!!! Of course it exists! It's mine! WTF!?

Hey George,

Thanks for reporting this issue. We've escalated it to the real brains at Symantec and they're looking into it.

Really.

Thanks Juicemaster! You are the man (or woman)!

So far my interactions with Symantec support and transitioning support from Altiris have been very disappointing. I miss the old days when all the hommies in Lindon were taking care of us... *sniff*

The machines I have

The machines I have upgraded to SP2 so far will not accept my current SVS deployment jobs from DS, giving me an error saying that the SVS agent isn't installed, getting a bit scared! Do I need to update the layers on my deployment server or something?

The agent is clearly installed ok though as I have tested activating already imported layers on those machines.

2.5

I expected the 2.5 version instead of a servicepack.

When can we expect SVS 2.5?

SP2 is basically

SP2 is basically 2.5--what's left of it anyway. We stopped development on 2.5 quite a while ago to concentrate on 3.0. I think people will find 3.0 to be a much better upgrade then 2.5 would have been.

Sometime between now and 2020.

We don't have a release date but, hopefully, you should hear more about it before the end of the year.
