  • 1.  Altiris 7.1 - removing old dagent or aclient

    Posted Jun 06, 2011 06:42 PM

    Is there a report/filter I can create containing all computers that have the old deployment agent "Altiris Aclient".  It shows up on the individual systems using RAAD but I can't find it in any report.  I know the command to remove it would be: "c:\program files\altiris\dagent\aclient.exe" /remove /silent

    No, but you could create one using the information at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ALtiris\Client Service.  A better method might be creating a Software Resource that includes an uninstall script and a command line to run the script, using a detection check that looks for information in this registry location.  Then associate it with a Managed Software Delivery that runs, say, once a week on all systems.

    Alternatively you could run a Custom Inventory or a Custom File Inventory, but both of these seem like extra work compared to the relative simplicity of using a detection check and a Managed Software Delivery.
