Well, I am in a pickle here, nothing I can do will get my computers importing. This worked fine under the previous versions of DS. The message I am getting is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Altiris Deployment Solution
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(!) Error importing computer number 1, in the field 'NIC 1 alternate WINS'.
[ OK ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was using a previous known-good XLS file I fill in, then export as CSV for the import. Also note, I am using Excel 2007, so I don't have the 13 row issue with failed commas. I used the same process in January 2008 and it worked a treat.
I keep all my previous import files... so I went into my "2008" folder, grabbed the CSV file I used for the import saved it as a new file. I then deleted all but one "test" row and proceeded to change the computer name, serial, MAC address etc to make a test computer. I tried an import and got the exact same error.
I then went into my "samples" folder and tried using both the "ImportComputers55" and "ImportComputers61" files (both CSV and TXT just to make sure). Neither of them worked. The v5.5 file reports that a MAC address is wrong, but managed to import some of my computers. The v6.1 files give me the same error I have now.
So is there a new "ImportComputers69" file I can get, or something? Anyone have a working CSV file for DS 6.9 SP1?
Help appreciated. I don't have much time left and I would hate to create a few hundred computers by hand.
EDIT: By the way, the "NIC 1 alternate WINS" column is empty, as we don't use it.
