Client Management Suite

Is there any way to set up bandwidth control when initially deploying the Symantec Management Agent? We need to deploy out to around 4000 clients. Some of our remote sites have pretty slow connections so I'd like to be able to turn on throttling of some sort (like SEP offers). However, I am unable to find any option related to this. 

There isn't an option to throttle the initial install of the base Symantec Management Agent (SMA) but I think that the download of the plug-ins can be controlled by the throttling settings of the SMA.

That is what I was afraid of. Thanks for the response!

There actually is a way, but it's not well documented. It's the default way that we roll out our agents.

This still works today in version 7.6, but I believe that the filename in that document is no longer correct. We use AltirisAgentInstSvc.exe with the following syntax:

AltirisAgentInstSvc.exe -u "https://NSSERVERNAME/Altiris/NS/NSCap/Bin/Win32/X86/NS Client Package/aexnsc.exe" -s NSSERVERNAME -w https://NSSERVERNAME/Altiris -nostartmenu

We put it in a share on the NS that gets used in a system startup GPO. I could use the nscap share, I guess, but we always just copied it out to it's own share for use in the script. You'll find the file in \NSCap\bin\Win32\X86.
