I've downloaded and installed the latest version of of SWV (6.1 SP6 MP1) into my development environment. The version we are running now (SP4) came with a dedicated "Integrated Install" package which gave us integration with our NS6 platform (collections, packages, tasks, policies, etc). This made it easy to deploy and manage the agent through NS without having to create manually all of the these things. I have noticed that in the new downloads, there is no integrated install package.
However, during install I did find the "Altiris Notification Server Support" option checkbox.
The documentation only has this to say:
"Altiris Notification Server Support
This option installs support for managing Workspace Virtualization on
endpoints in a Notification Server environment."
After completing the install, none of the NS components were installed into the NS (this is what the "integrated install" package did with sp4).
Unfortunately, I have not been able to glean any more information from the documentation or even our assigned engineer.
Does anyone have any idea if SP6 supports the "integrated installation" with NS6? Or will I have to create all of the tasks, packages, collections and policies for managing SWV 6.1 SP3 by hand? Also, as an aside, does anyone know what that "Altiris Notification Server Support" check box actually does?
Thanks!
