  • 1.  site server path installation

    Posted Sep 03, 2011 06:32 AM

    Hi everybody,

    I am testing a new site server and for design purpose, I need the installation path to point to D:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent, rather than C:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent in the new server

    altiris version: 7.1

    OS: windows 2008

    what I tested so far was; adding the new server in the webconsole, then I could see the new server been populated under "C:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent\Package Delivery" but I want this to point to D:\

     

    I will appreciate any help or if you can point me to a document or forum article

     

    Thanks

    I ticked Package destination location on package servers and I changed the path to D:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent\Package Delivery

    But in the site server information it said "No installed"

    is there anything else I need to check apart of the above options

    By the way, for the record in the site server, the altiris agent is installed in D:\Program Files\Altiris

     

    Any help would be appreciated

     

    Thanks

    The easiest way to change the package server repository is to deploy the agent on the right Folder/Drive

    in the acual agent Folder (C:\Program files\altiris\altiris agent) on the package server

    run in cmd aexagentutil.exe /clean to desinstall the agent

    copy aexnsc.exe on the package server

    run aexnsc.exe -s NS=YourNSServer PATH="D:\WhereYouWantToInstallTheAgent" ADDREMOVE /s

    after you promote the server as a package server in the console

    If the agent is on D:\, it should have delivered the packages to the D:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent\Package Delivery as described in your original post, not the same location on C:\.  I recommend that you uninstall site services and the agent, and reinstall to the D:\ drive, then reprovision as a site server.  You shouldn't need to specify an alternate location because it should use D:\ by default since that's where the agent resides.

    Thanks for your replay people, I reinstalled the agent pointing to D drive and reprovisioned the site server and it all good now

     

    Thanks for your help
