How to Identify Which RS 6.2 SP2 Hotfixes Have Been Installed

How to Identify Which RS 6.2 SP2 Hotfixes Have Been Installed

SK's picture

The VBS file (RSCustInvScans.vbs) was created and can be run on all Win32 computers in order to determine if any RS 6.2 SP2 hotfixes have been installed or not. When this file runs, it first determines if a particular scan is required or not, by checking for the existance of certain registry entries or files. If one of these checks returns TRUE, then that scan is run.

Monitoring Completion Status of RS Integrity Check or SSM jobs

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.

System Recovery Using Symantec Backup Executive System Recovery

When a tech support call to a large hardware manufacturer left my laptop unbootable, I found myself cursing the heavens. After I had calmed down, I remembered that my data was being protected by Symantec Backup Executive System Recovery 8. Perhaps this was not going to be as bad as I had initially feared. This article details my adventure into the not-so-well-documented world of system recovery.

Sometimes you run across something in the Altiris KB that just makes sense, other times you run across things that end up looking like road kill.

This time, this one just makes sense.

RS Diagnostics... Can I get some information on RSDiag 1.2 or how about an Amen!

RS Diagnostics... Can I get some information on RSDiag 1.2 or how about an Amen!

The previous post about the RS Tools provided a great run down on what's included in the tool set.

Here is a decent KB article that describes the RS Diag tools in fairly good detail and then how to get the collected data back into the hands of the gurus over in Estonia (that's where all your calls are directed if you need RS assistance) You don't even have to press 1 for English!
