 Using Rapport Administrative Software and Altiris Deployment Solution on the Same HP Compaq Thin Client Network 

 

 

Recommended 
Practices 

 

The following represents a method for ensuring maximum functionality of both 
management solutions co-existing on the same network. When the Rapport server has 
been configured to use PXE, the Altiris Deployment Solution PXE services should not be 
installed. The Altiris BootWorks partition should supersede PXE on clients managed by 
the Altiris server. 

Rapport Setup 

 

The Rapport Server must be configured to use PXE. Rapport 3.02 is automatically 
configured to use PXE. No options exist for deselecting PXE during installation or for 
disabling during operation. 

Altiris Setup 

 

If the Altiris Deployment Solution is already installed, the PXE service must be disabled. 
The following sections provide steps for both Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003 
Server families and Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server. 

To disable PXE service for Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003 Server families, perform 
the following steps: 

1.  Right-click 

My Computer

 and select 

Manage

2.  Click on 

Services

 in the left pane of the Window. 

3.  Scroll in the right pane and select 

Altiris PXE Config Service

 

4.  When the Altiris PXE Config Service window opens, change the Startup Type to 

Disabled
