Vader40 commented on: Altiris and HP Enhance the Power of VMware

Thanks for the nice words. Do you know of any documentation out there about incorperating a virtual center infastructure into DS? I am going to work on this soon, but I'd like to read about how and the benefits first.

Thanks for the comment. I do know about the SQL Maintence plan now, although when I was playing with this script I did not. I agree it does work well and is easier to use. I thought wanted to share my script with others. Thanks Curt

At our company we manage seven different computer models. They're all HP, but not all of them have the same chipset. Here's a problem we ran into and, of course, how we solved it. La Problema We had problems using the same image for the HP DC5000, DC5100, and

Not sure if this is feasible or not, depends on how many computers you have, but in the BIOS of the newer HP equiptment, under system configuration, go into device configuration and disable the SATA Native Mode. This is what I did and I had no ...

I'm sorry, I thought the contest wanted HP technology also, so that is why I submitted the article. I knew when I submitted that it wasn't really about Altiris, I mentioned altiris because the form asked about my place of employment and what we ...

I Tried again by teaming ports on the switch and then teaming the nics on our server and it worked much better. Thanks to everyone for the idea.

A couple of weeks ago we noticed that we were having a problem with our Deployment Server losing its connection to the SQL server every couple of hours. We were at a loss as to what was going on. The only information we could see was in the event viewer on our Altiris server which showed us ex

The access points interface with our HP switches and get security from them. We also are using a Radius server in our configuration, so you have to have a valid Active Directory account in order to even connect. Not sure if this is the type of ...

Here's a nice Wake on LAN (WOL) utility that's designed specifically for a Windows Pocket PC. A lot of our building principles have PDAs and use them on the wireless network. It's nice to able to wake them up (the PDAs, that is) when they set the PDA down for a while

Just an FYI for others out there. We have our Altiris Deployment Server running on an HP DL380, and I wanted to run two 1 Gig NICs to the server and team them. After I teamed the NICs together, I changed the network settings to disable the TCP Checksum Offload. With these network settings, we were
