Just how good is your Inventory Forwarding?

For those of you using multiple Notification Servers to gather inventory, how often do you check your forwarding to make sure that it's showing the same data on both the source and destination NS? If you're not, and you run your reports on the central NS, you could be in for a surprise!

Do you ever look at your Recovery Solution job queue and wonder "I wonder how far along that Integrity Check/SSM job is?" Well I did, and was very frustrated since there wasn't a good way I had found to monitor the progress. Well, by using the following Stored Procedure, you too can find out about the progress of the job.

As we planned our SVS agent roll-out it became clear to us that no end user should have the SVS admin console on their machine. That being said we need to get our staff familiar with the SVS and the admin console by having them install it on their machine and test. This article covers a basic overview of that process for our Helpdesk team.

I've done a lot with server performance stats but one of the things I've not found is an easy way to see average, minimum, and maximum values for a performance counter for a time period. Here's some code that'll help you get these stats (without starting from scratch).

Ever want to monitor the Notification Server from your Workstation, without having a user logged in on the server?

Currently Altiris Log Viewer requires some user logged into the server, running the log in remote mode and then lock it in that state in order to remotely view the log file. Well if you don't like leaving users logged in on your server like me (even in locked mode), then this doesn't work for you.

(To see how to run Altiris Log Viewer on a separate Machine see KB article #20453)
