Hi, I think it would be brilliant if we could see in 'real-time' a graphical overview of which package/site servers need replication to become up to date and in addition their organisational layout. In most cases they have block out settings applied, and it would nice to see when they start communicating again, or from a troubleshooting point of view, we could instantly see which package/site servers have lost thier sync with the NS Server. Currently this is quite a manual, long winded ...

I have found the console in NS 6, 6.5, and 7 to be very confusing and unorganized. Some real thought should go into the next upgrade as to how the console should be designed. Why not have all setting, policies, or jobs for a certain module all under that particular component. If I wanted to configure something in Patch management, I could go to Patch management and configure the settings, jobs, task and/or policies right there. Now I have to go from Settings to Manage and then maybe ...

It would be nice with a function to send out urgent messege to all computers from NS or deployment. För example when you need to push out a message that say that is some sort of problem, who the users need to know about maybe logout or that the e-mail server is down.

It would be nice to have a list of known and confirmed bugs that Symantec support knows with a plan to fix it and maybe voting system (like in ideas) that we may vote what should be fixed first. With a bug there should be also ETA for a fix (in what release it will be fixed). Sometimes there is a known problem and even whitepapers available but only for internal use and it would be handy to be able to seek and reference something when calling support (obviously I'm not expecting that some ...

CMDB and Asset Management Solution 6.5 When a custom class is created, the attributes within that class cannot be edited. The data type cannot be changed. An attribue cannot be deleted either.. The only way to make a change is to delete the whole dataclass and recreate with the new / changed desired attributes. This is very annoying and time consuming. It will be much nicer if the custom data classes could be edited.

Patch Management Add the ability to configure software update tasks to install ASAP after the scheduled install time. Currently, if a computer misses the schedule, it will not run / receive the update. If the schedule is 2 a.m. and the computer is always offline during this time, the computer will never receive the patch. Cheers, Peter

In SWV 6.1 there is a feature called "Auto Run From Layer". It would be nice to have a similar global feature "Auto Run From Base" that defines processes that should never run from a layer or at least act as if they were started from the base. An Example: right now when a user receives a mail (using virtualized mail software) containing a url to an installer and the user clicks this link, iexplorer.exe and ultimately even the installer ...

When creating software deployment jobs within NS it would be great if there was a software prerequisite toolset of some sort. This toolset would allow you to specify OS and application requirements that must be present before software installations can continue.

I suspect I'm not alone in this...Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2/Core are definitely on our short-term radar. What is a bit of a longer-term upgrade is NS7/CMS7/LSS/RS7. We're going to need support for Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2 in NS6. Hopefully the underlying OS architectures of Win7 and Server 2008R2 (GUI mode) is close enough to Vista that it would not be a monumental effort to make the NS6 Altiris Agent ...

ServiceDesk does not allow accounts that are not in the searched domain to import into service desk users, because the formatting is forced, cannot check other domains.

Currently you need to create ticket first and then go back in and add subtasks.

Since the original release of Notification Server 7 (and even a little before that during the beta cycle) I download the symantec.pl.xml file daily to review if the content has changed. In fact I do not do this, I create a shell file to do it in my stead - it's so much more efficient than I could ever be ;). In all cases, after running this for a few month now I have the following data structure on my server (note that the files are named after the md5 hash value of the ...

When I decided to upgrade to NS7, I could not find a separate downloadable item on Symantec Download page for NS7. To upgrade from HD6 to SD7, I had first to download and install NS7, then install SD solution to it. And since, there is no NS7-only download available, I had to download CMS 7, which downloads NS7, then add SD7solution to it. It would be really nice if Symantec adds NS7 as a download item to it's Download page, so that we do not get confused when we need to ...

Hi, This is a cross post, from the forum mentioned in the subject line, I did on October 21st, 2009 Hi, I have noticed that OOBM (Out of Band Management - covering vPro, ASF etc) doesn't have it's own forum. In my experience this is a forum that may well get a fairly significant amount of use! It also appears to not be recognised by Symantec as a product yet!? What do the community think? Regards, David.

During the install of SMC it would be nice to have more customization control over Symantec Management Console. Such control would be to include or exclude features for Linux, Mac, or Windows. If you select not to install such features then the agents, reports, and other such tools should not show up on the console.

I think it would be very beneficial to have other items that can define what machine an app is provisioned to, rather than simply the user id. In an environment when people do switch machines from say a headquarters site to a DR site and you only want the streaming/virtualized app available at DR. You could set up 2 streaming environments, but then you also have to manage 2 environments. If you set up a nice load balanced system that covers many of your sites, you can ...
