  • 1.  R13 Client Agent Upgrade collection empty

    Posted Aug 05, 2011 10:58 AM

    Ok so i started working at a new place. They upgraded a dev server from R8 to R13 but I noticed the NS client agents are still 6.0.2394 so they need an upgrade. I navigated to the server and ran aexnsc.exe and now the version on my dev system is 6.0.2416 so the agent does exist on the server.
    When i go to enable the automatic update agent task... i notice the collection is the All Windows Computers Requiring Altiris Agent Upgrade collection but it is empty.
    I updated distribution points, ran delta update collection...
    any ideas?

    well i dont like sitting around and the easy solution is to modify it.. i wanted the out of box service that was just not there..

     

     

    so i cloned the collection, edited it and changed it to my specifics...

    select Guid 
    from vResource 
    where Guid in 
     (
      SELECT Guid 
      FROM vComputerResource 
      WHERE Guid in
       (
        select _ResourceGUID 
        from Inv_AeX_AC_Client_Agent t1, vComputerResource r 
        where r.Guid=t1.[_ResourceGuid]
         and t1.[Agent Name] = 'Altiris eXpress NS Client'
         and r.IsManaged=1
         AND CAST(t1.[Build Number] as INT) < '2416'
       )
        
     )
