szb posted: Is DS 6.9 still being developed?

I need a solution Out of the blue we seem to be experiencing the WOL described in: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH127667&key=55263&basecat=KNOWN_ISSUE&actp=LIST

szb posted: 6.9 sp4 - WIM file capture is broken

I need a solution So, I've been trying to upload a Windows 7 image as a .wim file. Unfortunately, DS 6.9 SP4 does not understand the Windows 7 hidden service partition, thus when it tries to do an ImageX capture of C:,

szb commented on: Does anyone have a process to fully patch a newly provisioned Windows XP system?

While not free, I've been pretty happy with using scripted jobs with WUInstall. My only problem is grabbing drivers from Windows Update, but you may not want to do that anyway. You can check out the product here - http://wuinstall.com/

szb commented on: Extreme slowness deploying images to Virtual Machines

DOS = worst pe environment possible. We've found that Windows PE 2.1 beats everything hands down. It's easy to add drivers, has great performance, and works with almost anything. It's weird to say this, but it's the best boot environment for ...

szb commented on: Dagent - running background tasks

Unfortunately I've hit this snag yet again. My new Mathcad install works when I run it with "run script in console user session" checked, but not when I use "sepcific user". This is so strange.

szb posted: Dagent - running background tasks

I need a solution My scenario is this: I have a 6.9 sp3 ds server, windows 7 client. I'm trying to run a nifty program via dagent script job called wuinstall. This program forces out windows updates to clients. If I

szb commented on: Deployment Console 6.9 (SP3) Slowness

What is the CPU usage on your Deployment Server machine? I had huge issues with Dagent and encrypted communications which resulted in horrific cpu usage on the host server. When I tried to use the console when the server was in this state ...

szb commented on: Is not using encryption dangerous?

ianatkin: That's what I figured, and for our environment software and service inventory are rarely sensitive. You do have a great point about sensitive fileshares :D I am still a bit dissapointed that I can't even enable ...

I need a solution I've tried twice now to enable encrypted communications between dagent clients and the deployment server. The first time occurred when I upgraded our ds9 server to ds9 sp1 and all the XP clients went t

szb commented on: Windows 7 built-in sysprep wrong timezone

I was able to get it working: I unchecked "Automatically perform configuration task after completing imaging task" for the image. I then run a script to change the time zone. After that I run a config job to add the system ...

szb commented on: Windows 7 built-in sysprep wrong timezone

I tried this, but it doesn't seem to work 100% of the time. How are you running tzutil? I was attempting to run it as a through a script job after the imaging process is complete.

szb commented on: Dagent = Massive Problems :(

Well encryption is simply going to be a no-go with Dagent. Remote control is not going to work either. Aclient could not remote control 1920x1200 desktops and it appears dagent has the same limitation. Very unfortunate.

I need a solution I'm currently experiencing a bizarre issue when using the built-in sysprep with DS 6.9 SP3. Altiris always generates an unattend.xml file with the wrong time zone. It thinks I'm in MST when it shou

Benjamin Schaffer commented on: Deployment Solution 6.9 SP1 Released

At the time I did our upgrade, I believe I had installed the Dagent 6.9.355 hotfix and I was using autoupdate. Like I said before, I've never experienced any issues with large scale updates of aclient. Additionally, the autoupdate feature does a ...

Benjamin Schaffer commented on: Capture image to different location???

You need to be sure that the drive is mapped in the pxe boot image. This means that you will need to remake the pxe image if you haven't already. For example, we use WinPE 2.1. During the boot disk creator process you can setup an additional ...

Benjamin Schaffer commented on: Deployment Solution 6.9 SP1 Released

Is there something more intensive about dagent versus aclient? We've never had any problems with mass autoupgrades before like this. At some point I'll see if I can put the 6.9sp1 server back in production, unfortunately I can't do it at the moment.

Benjamin Schaffer commented on: Deployment Solution 6.9 SP1 Released

Yes, Autoupdate was enabled, and seemed to be working fine. All of our clients are xp, would they get dagent or aclient? I can probably pull a log file. Where's the axengine log file located?
