  • 1.  Upgraded to 6.9 SP2

    Posted Jun 10, 2009 09:16 AM
    Ok, so I've upgraded from DS 6.9 SP1 to 6.9 SP2.  Any recommendations on whether to go with aclient or dagent?  It looks like SP2 is supposed to fix all past issues with dagent, but I'd hate to upgrade corporately and then end up having to remove it.  We've got 1200 users on the server now, but we're planning on pushing prob another 600 users out and I'd like to know which client to push out to them.  We're doing it in a GOP through AD as opposed to using the remote installer tool.  And does anyone know if we do this and we package the exe into an msi if we also would need an inp file?
    Thanks!

    Go with Aclient if you can (XP or older). Dagent still lacks some of the security of Aclient.

    I agree with matthilt. Stay with AClient whenever you can. Only use DAgent when you need to for Vista or Server 2008.

    Thanks.  How unstable is dagent still?  I know when I first tried it prob about a year ago it crashed constantly.  Is it any better?

    I've had mixed results with DAgent. On some computers it seems to work fine and never crash. On others the service stops constantly. Haven't been able to figure out why that is. Luckily we only have a handful of Vista computers so it hasn't been a major problem for me.

    Hi.
    Has anything changed with SP4? Is the DAgent more stable on WinXP, Vista, Win7, Win2008?

    Or are there still issues?
