Deployment Solution

I dont know why but I recently did an updated build and now when I apply the image the local altiris accounts password has expired and needs changed. This is causing a problem with som tasks. Anyway I can fix this ?

Thanks

Can you explain what you mean by "local Altiris account"?  Is the machine joined to a domain?  If so you wouldn't normally have any local account for Altiris on the machine.  If you are talking abou tthe app idenity domain account, I would recommend you set that account to not expire.  There is a specific process that must be followed to update the password for that account since the credentials are stored in several locations.

There is a local account created called 'Altiris' The machine is in a workgroup - this was not created by me. I have resolved anyway. I put in a task to reset the password and its now fine.

Thanks

'vbscript

'SetAltirisAdminPasswortNeverExpire

Const ADS_UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD = &h10000

Set objNetwork = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.network")

strComputer = objNetwork.Computername
strUser = "Altiris"
 
Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & _
    strComputer & "/" & strUser & ",User")
 
objUserFlags = objUser.Get("UserFlags")
objPasswordExpirationFlag = objUserFlags OR ADS_UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD
objUser.Put "userFlags", objPasswordExpirationFlag 
objUser.SetInfo
