Configuring the Altiris Agent settings for evaluation use
(Optional)
By default, the Altiris Agent requests new configuration from Notification Server
once per hour. This means that it can take up to one hour for a rollout policy to
reach the target computer.
If you are evaluating this solution in a lab environment, you can change the
configuration request interval to speed up the evaluation process.
The next time the Altiris Agent downloads configuration information, these
settings take effect. If you used the default agent configuration values before the
change, updates can take up to one hour before these changes are effective.
See “Preparing target computers for management” on page 49.
To configure the Altiris Agent for evaluation use
1
In the Symantec Management Console, on the Settings menu, click
Agents/Plug-ins > Targeted Agent Settings.
2 In the left pane, under Policy Name, click the policy that applies to the
computers that you want to configure. For example, click All Desktop
computers (excluding 'Site Servers').
3
On the General tab, in the Download new configuration every box, change
the value to 5 minutes.
This forces the agent to check more frequently for changes so you can see
the results of the changes you make more quickly.
4 In the Upload basic inventory every box, change the value to 15 minutes.
This forces inventory data to be sent more frequently.
5
Click Save changes.
Discovering out-of-band capable computers
If you want to manage computers out of band, the first step is to know which
computers on your network are out-of-band capable. Out of Band Management
Component includes the Out of Band Discovery policy that can help you discover
these computers. The policy requires that the computers to be checked for
out-of-band capability be turned on and running a supported version of the
Windows operating system and the Altiris Agent. After the policy runs on the
client computers, the out-of-band capable computers are added to the
corresponding filters.
