  • 1.  "A fatal error has occurred" Symantec Installation Manager Server 2k12

    Posted May 22, 2014 05:07 PM

    I have been trying to download an Altiris trial for the past two days and have been getting "A fatal error has occured." What do I need to do to fix this? We are about to jump to windows 8.1 and were looking to switch from sccm but if I can't even download the trial, then theres no way we can switch!frown

    Best Answer

    If you are using the Windows 2012 Server to create an installation package that will be run on a Windows 2008 R2 system, then support will be your best port of call in conjunction with your Sales contact, expecially as you are looking at replacing SCCM with Altiris.

    If, on the other hand you wish to install the Symantec Management Platform onto the Windows 2012 Server, then this will not work, as it currently can only be installed onto Windows 2008 R2 (7.5 SP1 will supporting installaing onto Windows 2012 R2).  In fact, this may also be the reason why SIM itself is failing.
