Make Changes to All Profiles - VB Script

MtBiker — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:54:48 -0500

This is a simple VB script to modify all the profiles at once. Most the time you can use the "All Users" profile to make changes to all the profiles but there has been times when I've found this little script handy. For instance, it's a nice way of printing out all profiles on a system. But there are many things that this script can do.

Check for Installed Applications - VB Script

MtBiker — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 12:48:47 -0500

Application installation can become tricky at times. We have noticed problems with installing software and our Spy Sweeper blocking the installation. We then had a need to determine if the Spy Sweeper is installed and do some action if it is.

Auto-assign Computers to Groups in Deployment Console

MtBiker — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:59:01 -0500

We had problems when new computers were being inserted into the deployment console. We had so many new computers and so many groups to place them in that it became an administrative nightmare! We found a way to have the Deployment Console automatically place new computers into specific groups based on the computer name. Keep in mind our solution was SQL code so you don't have to place them based on computer name only.

Altiris IRC Chat Room

MtBiker — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 10:20:57 -0500

As an Altiris Administrator for my company, I found it fairly easy to find solutions to my problems from either the Juice or the Knowledge base. Then I took a Notification class with 8 other Altiris Administrators and discovered that I was learning more about Altiris and its products just by talking with my classmates on our breaks.

I decided that Altiris should have a chat room where Administrators can discuss issues and help others struggling. I was unable to find a chat room so I created one of my own. I decided to use IRC because it was easy enough that anybody could use it.
