A Hotfix to CE Agent on Deployment Server 6.9 is available. However, there is no installer, only instructions to manually apply the Hotfix. While the manual instructions are straight-forward, it can be time-consuming if you have multiple Deployment Servers to apply it to.

I have written an NSIS Install Script that will allow you to silently install the Hotfix to all of your Deployment Servers. To learn more about how to install and use NSIS, read my article Using NSIS to Build Application Installers.

To create the CE Agent Hotfix Installer, do the following:

Download altiris-dagentce-6_9_177.zip
Create a new folder named DS_Hotfix.
In the DS_Hotfix folder, create the following subfolders: "Deployment Server\Agents\CEAgent"
Extract altiris-dagentce-6.9.177.X86.exe into the folder "DS_Hotfix\Deployment Server\Agents\CEAgent"
Download the zip file DS_CE60_Hotfix_6_9_177.zip.
Extract DS_CE60_Hotfix_6_9_177.nsi into the folder "DS_Hotfix"
Use NSIS to compile DS_CE60_Hotfix_6_9_177.nsi.
