Hello all!
Some time back I created a new PE file for the HP Compaq 4000 pro machine that I recently got. I added the driver through the Driver Management Tool under Settings->Deployment. After creating the file I got the error PXE Pre 0 Invalid List while booting to PXE. I was unsure of what had happened so I used an older backup image that I had, added the network driver to it and it worked fine.
However, since then I am unable to create any new PE file from the Create Preboot Configuration option. When I navigate to the following location,
"C:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent\Agents\Deployment\Task Handler\SBS\Images
I can see the name "Test" that I type in while creating a new Preboot configuration. I go into the folder marked "Test", then X86PC, then I see a Dummy.0 file which is exactly 0 bytes in size.
I have run the Delta Resource membership update, and updated the agent on the server. I see the bootwiz.exe proess come up, hog a considerable amount of CPU for some time and then disappear. Still the Dummy.0 file is not renamed. This is happening with every new PE file that I try to create.
I have looked through a few KB articles with Symantec. I was unable to find a fix for this issue. Any ideas?
