Deployment Solution

Hi there,

I was wondering could anyone help me please. I have a VMware image I need to place on the hard drives of 20 PCs and thought I could do it using the copy file/directory option within altiris but the thing is when I create the job and run it to PCs it comes back with the following error message: -

"The network connection has been gracefully closed" I'm not really sure what the problem is and would be grateful if someone could help.

If you know how to get around this error or of another way I can achieve this please let me know. I'm not really good with scripts or anything like that so if you know of a way please post instructions for me.

Thanks in anticipation,

Tony

hi,

we´ve got the same problem here @ work.
The Copy works with 4095 mb; with 4096Mb the error appears.

I´ve to copy a 10gb Vmware file so Please dont say, splitt the Vmware Files into 2GB Pieces, there must be another Way.

thx

I'm ashamed to say I gave up as time was against me. I scripted it out instead.

Example of script code used: -

d:
md vmware
cd vmware
copy "\\nds01\express$\Files\VMware Windows Vista\*.*"

I know it isn't the way I thought I could do it but I'm beginning to think it is a limitation on altiris that is stopping that big of a directory being copied.

Have a go at a run script job to copy your file and see how you get on!

Regards,

Tony

hmm
we already have a copy script that works, but it must work with altiris....

it would be nice to know why 4gb is a problem.

thx tony for your reply
