Can we please have a library area in the Altiris Console where we can maintain the Targets?

Dear Symantec,

I have often created new Targets in the Altiris Console and then thought, "hey, did I not create that before?" The only way to work out if I have created a Target before is to create a Job of Task and then go through the process of creating a Target and then look through the list of Targets and open them.

Also, there is no way, as far as I can see, of deleting old Targets, either!

This is really inefficient and makes it harder to maintain my Targets (which are reusable).

So, can we please have a library area in the Altiris Console where we can maintain the Targets?

Kindest regards,

QuietLeni

HI,

Currently you can get the list of targets in Report:

Create custom SQL report like this:

SELECT

   [vIt].[Guid] AS [_ItemGuid],

   [vIt].[Name]

FROM

   [vItem] AS [vIt]

WHERE

    [vIt].[ClassGuid] = 'd1d31520-c3ae-471d-be99-d0ff1221bbca'

Order by [vIt].[Name]

To Open Edit for targets use the DirllDown settins like “DoubleClick to Open URL” with following parameters:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Open URL:

/altiris/ns/admin/dialogs/ResourceTargetBuilderControlStandAlone.aspx?mode=all&objId={ItemGuid}

Any chance for two more drilldowns?

- Show Policies using this target

- Delete

 

I wonder why targets dont have any right-click actions anyway.

Erm, I suppose so, but I would like this built-in to the UI - not an ad-hoc report - this should be in the main product!

I stand by the accuracy of my Inventory of the organisation. Don't blame me for the picture that it presents...

Is there any way to delete a target?

None that I know of, sadly!
