Using NS to install a Deployment Server Using the Wizard
Updated: 23 May 2010 | 7 comments
I built a Server (2003 and 2008) loaded SQL (2005 and 2008) and installed the Altiris Agent. I then used the Install Wizard to install the DS. Checked Advanced and made sure all was right. I then ran the wizard and it said it would take 10 minutes. I saw on the servers that axInstall was running on the server but I let it sit overnight and still it did not install. Any ideas?

What do you mean by 2003 and 2008, as well as the 2005 and 2008 SQL? Is this the full install of DS, or just the NS based web version?

What I mean is I did it on two different setups. I had one server that was Server 2003 R2 Standard/SQL 2005 and it did not work. And another server that had Server 2008 Std/SQL 2008.
I use the NS shortcut to install.
Deployment Solution>Configuration>Full Installation/Upgrade of Deployment Server>Install Wizard.
NS is not supported on either Windows 2008 or SQL 2008, so you may see some interaction issues there. I believe that DS6.9 will run on those OS's, but that would be a question for the DS forums.
If I recall correctly the 2003\2005 install type should work, but personally if I wanted to install Deployment Server, I would do the full install, not through NS.

I am not installing NS on this Server, just DS.
This post seemed to indicate you were installing using the NS.

I am using the NS to install a Deployment Server on another Server.
I would install the DS using the full DS setup.
