Hello,
after upgradeing to CMS 7.5 the pcAnywhere Plug-in for Windows policy is not working anymore.
Reason:
The target for this policy uses the hidden filter "Windows Computers with no pcAnywhere plug-in Installed"
The definition for this filter has not been updated to fit to version 7.5 Altiris Agents.
Basically the filter would never contain any Client that has a 7.5 verson Altiris Agent installed due to this piece of sql:
JOIN dbo.Inv_AeX_AC_Client_Agent ca
ON ca._ResourceGuid = i.Guid
AND ca.[Product Version] LIKE '7.1%'
Solution:
Unhide the filter following this:
HOW TO make the PCA filter 'Windows Computers with no pcAnywhere plug-in Installed' available again after you deleted the rule.
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH152290
Open the filter in the Altiris Console (Filters - Software Filters - Agent and Plug-in Filters)
Right-click and clone it.
Edit the sql like this:
JOIN dbo.Inv_AeX_AC_Client_Agent ca
ON ca._ResourceGuid = i.Guid
AND ca.[Product Version] LIKE '7.5%'
Modify the target of the "pcAnywhere Plug-in for Windows" policy to used this new filter.
Now the pcAnywhere Plug-In is only installed on computers with Agent versions of 7.5
