  • 1.  DS 6.9 SP6 Windows 10

    Posted Aug 31, 2015 10:12 AM

    Hello.  @OSVERSION on a windows 10 Ent system returns "UNKNOWN".   For those moving to Windows 10 in the near future will 6.9 ever be updated to be made aware of it?

    If not then what are our options?  We use 6.9 for hardware agnostic imaging and post imaging application installations.

    Thanks much.

    -Michael

    Ghost Solution Suite 3.0 has now replaced Altiris Deployment Server 6.9: "Due to our aggressive investment in GSS 3.0, there will be no more service packs for DS 6.9. We will fix any new issues in GSS 3.0 rather than DS 6.9. The installation of GSS 3.0 is exactly the same as the installation of DS 6.9 SP6 (in-place upgrade). Therefore other than the product being named differently, you can consider this to be the equivalent of something like SP7. DS 6.9 will reach the end of its EOL cycle in June 2016, beyond which point we will no longer be supporting it. This may feel aggressive, but we have already supported it beyond the typical product lifecycle of 7 years. This policy is absolutely required to drive this technology forward." https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/important-announcement-altiris-deployment-solution-69-customers
