I am having the worst luck. I setup my lab environment to get the DS portion for imaging to work. I had everything setup and running smoothly, created client task to deploy image, install software, run some scripts, worked like a charm.
I proceeded to duplicate in my production environment and have had nothing but headaches. At first I was getting pectagent.exe errors because I was missing files. I copied those over from my lab and was able to get to the initial deployment menu. I had also opened a case with Symantec and they advised of another issue also related so I followed https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH227363.html . Now I can get one machine started, goes through the process, boot to PXE, get the Initial deployment menu, downloads the image and runs that remaining tasks. I start up a second machine, boots to pxe, gets the initial deployment menu and just sits there.
In the log viewer, there are 3 lines of errors:
InitialDeploymentMessagingItem::ScheduledJobTask: Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).
Unable to process the Initial deployment event. Unable to process the Initial deployment event message from resource {10dda2b0-61e2-460a-bfc0-91703a322b04} to class Initial Deployment.
An empty event was captured - no data was loaded (make sure a proper event mapping is registered) : <body><XmlData><InitialDeploymentEvent><ActionType>Execute Task</ActionType><IntialDeploymentJobTaskGuid>3413c8ba-7eca-415f-8df8-14c0c11674bf</IntialDeploymentJobTaskGuid><TaskName>TEST</TaskName><TaskDescription></TaskDescription></InitialDeploymentEvent></XmlData></body>
So I throught the first error was related to a corrupt client task, I decided to create a TEST job, this made no difference, same errors in the log. Now I tried to delete the TEST client task and the delete option is greyed out. I tried to delete it from the Initial deployment menu, it is also greyed out. I tried using the link with the GUID http://localhost/Altiris/NS/Admin/Menu%20Items/DeleteItem.aspx?itemguid=GUID and it tells me there are dependencies on the task in the Initial deployment menu. What now??
Anyone had any of these issues that can share?
