Thanks to you
Today I tried to install the ALtiris 7 CMS Beta III on my windows 2008 machine, no chance. Getting path access errors all the time, when I want to start the Symantec Installation manager.
So I let it leave with the Beta.
Then I let the NS server install a new Database on the SQL Server 2008 till now (approaching 6hours) no problems with Altiris.
NS is still installed on a separat Windows 2003 machine, only the deployment solution has moved to the new 2008 machine.
All works fine till now, but it is a little bit early to say that it works without any problems, but I'm optimistic ,).
One thing I haven't researched for now but perhaps one of you can give me a short answer: The new Deployment server works also as the PXE and SQL 2008 server, booth are only used for Altiris, but on booting to WinPE I'm getting not more then 5Mbit/sec to upload the WinPE image. Equal if only one or more then one client is connecting.
The new machine should give much more, the 5 mbit/sec, this is nearly less then the old machine, that is much slower.
Is this limitation due to the PXE network drivers? Its not fine to wait hours for 15 clients too boot to WinPE. I know I can use multicast, but this is not allways possible for me.
Thanks & Best Regards
