Overview

Parts 5 and 6 of this article series came out before Part 4, largely due to relevancy. Due to current limitations, SNMP alerts can be used for reporting, and delayed action. In Real-Time System Manager or Task Server SNMP alerts can be configured, and with Notification Server's SNMP receiver the SNMP alerts can be compiled and even have action initiated on them. The one caveat that lowers the power of this feature is the absence of a real-time system to act on critical alerts.

The release of the newest rollup pack for NS brings about a whole list of added updates.

Have you ever wondered though what was fixed with the current rollup you have installed now?

In case you were not aware, the newest rollup has been released. The R7 release was previously scheduled to be released a little later but was cut loose to resolve the critical security vulnerability with previous versions of the agent.

In case anyone else may have missed the release earlier this month, here are the details surrounding the security vulnerability for any Altiris Agent pre- 6.0.2389 build. Linky here...

This is another posting in regards to the articles I've done for Recovery Solution (RS) in the past based around the events which may occur that get written to the application event log.

After playing around with the Workflow Solution beta, I tried some of the links under the menus.

Interestingly enough, I was able to "acquire" some docs that had not yet been re-branded/assimilated to Symantec/Altiris.
