i am trying to finish a few more tasks using DS but am having issues with it. according to this thread DS shouldn't stop working once the maintenance expires. Well it expired a few days ago and i'm noticing a few weird issues.
- in the console, under the tools menu, everything specified in ATOOLS.INI is completely missing.
- the imageinvoker add-on service starts then immediately stops. windows tries to be helpful and tells me some services will stop if they aren't in use by other programs or services.
i can't find any sort of option to disable the console from using the atools.ini. i've restarted all the altiris services on this box (2008r2) but it didn't help.
even before maintenance expired, we were having issues with predefined computers randomly showing up in the all computers list for no apparent reason, as well as duplicate computer names showing up. i unchecked MAC as a primary lookup per symantec's recommendation but it only helped a little. right now it's set to UUID and serial number.
i just want to image a couple more machines with DS before it gets shut down, but it's proving to be much more of a problem than it should be.
