As more companies are moving their Deployment Solution 6.9 environments over to Windows 2008 r2 they are experiencing an issue with getting the Altiris ASDK 1.4 to properly install and work with their newly installed servers.
There are several reason for this difficulty.
To get around these issues we have to perform several steps. However once completed you should be able to use the ASDK features.
<section name="system.webServer" type="System.Configuration.IgnoreSectionHandler, System, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
To address the issue with IIS 7 not reading information from the 32 bit Framework folders we need to perform the following steps so .Net 1.1 will properly load & run.
In my testing I experienced some permissions issues even logged into the machine as the local administrator. In order to edit the machine.config file I had to make sure notepad was opened with the 'Run as administrator' option. Also I had to remove the Read Only attributes on the folders.
Hi,
Nice article to sum it all up to get it working.
However there is a support issue:
1. Any call to Symantec about ASDK 1.4 fire back that officially it is no longer supported.
2. Officially (yes I asked), Microsoft does not support .Net 1.1 on W2008R2
So it would help a lot for customers who have invested in ASDK if Symantec would upgrade it to a higher version of .Net.
But no mistake, I appriciate your article.
