system cannot find the file specified

I am having some problems with several computer ( no all computers are affected) on the network that return error "The system cannot find the file specified - status code 2 - Win32"  when I send a distribution task (eg: adobe reader distribution)  from deployment console.

I am wondering if someone had this issue and if they found any solution to fix that....

using NS7 and DC 6.9

Thanks for your help in advanced

Status Code 2

I've had this problem, and for me, it was where the script could not connect to the server (in my scenario it was a name resolution problem).  Once I was able to reconnect to the server, the script ran fine.  If at all possible, you might sit at the computers that are having a problem and watch the command prompt window that starts when a job is running to see where errors might occur (for me it was network name not found).

Hope this helps.

RE: system cannot find the file specified

This might not be much help but I recall something about this on one of the patches for 6.9 SP1 check kb.altiris.com and read the release notes.

domain group corrupted

the remote machine had a corrupted domain group, I deleted it and added it again and problem fixed.  I do not know why this happened in some machines but at least problem solved so far

Get Inventory

I have seen this problem once in a while. I solved it by adding a task in the job that just gets inventory from the client. So the job could look something like:

  • Get inventory
  • Distribute Adobe Reader

I have seen the problem when I distribute a new server where only part of the physical disk is partitioned and before I use DISKPART to configure the rest of the disk. I am not sure why it helps to get inventory, but for me it did :)
