Need help creating windows login script for altiris agent install
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 3 comments
I'm trying to create a windows login script that will do the following: First check if the altiris agent is installed on the local machine; if so, then check to verify the agent is pointing to the correct NS (we went through a migration); if so, then check if the agent is actually communicating with the NS (any errors?) - and if it's not communicating, then uninstall and reinstall the altiris agent on the local machine. I believe I have all the registry keys to check for, and commands to run for the script, except the part to check and see if the agent is actually communicating with the NS, or if there are errors. Anyone have any advise on how to put that part in a script? Thanks for any input anyone can provide.

Did you ever develop this?

Wouldn't it be easier to run
Wouldn't it be easier to run an uninstall script and assume it is broken, then re-install the agent?
The registry key in question (good luck)
would be HKLM\Software\Altiris\Altiris Agent\Servers\(server name)\basic inventory last post or perhaps \policy last received.
As for errors, that information isn't recorded in the registry as near as I can tell. I agree with Brandon, it's definitely a sledgehammer method.
