Any feedback from those running this latest release and hotfix? My production server's only at 7.1 SP2 MP1.1 where upgrading my test SMP 7.1 VM to 7.5 SP1 HF3 went smoothly about a week ago. However, yesterday my vSphere client reported that my VM had high CPU usage (eventengine.exe) and couldn't grab an IP address. Getting into the VM's console, everything was super slow (even logging in) and objects in the Windows GUI weren't updating or working at all with multiple errors and multiple Altiris services not starting. Rebooting didn't help where Windows was pretty much useless and unresponsive.
CPU usage has gone down this morning after a few reboots although most of the Altiris services still have failed to start. Now that the server's more responsive, I'm repairing some programs like VMware Tools, SEP, and even ran "sfc /scannow" which found no problems. I'll have to comb through the Windows event logs for clues on why this all happened although this catastrophic failure doesn't give me a good feeling about upgrading to 7.5 SP1 HF3. Perhaps this was a glitch in our Vcenter environment where I may not have the same problem on my physical SMP box so that's why I'd like your feedback on your experiences with 7.5 SP1 HF3. Thanks in advance!
