Help Working with Multiple NSs

Help Working with Multiple NSs

Ever get annoyed when working with multiple NSs and they're all titled "Altiris Console" in your task bar? I personally work daily with 5 production NSs, along with 2-3 test NSs, and often with IE consoles, up to 3-4 of them are open at a time.

If you find yourself in this situation, I've found a way to make it work much better. I'm not sure if this is "supported" as you need to edit one of Altiris' files to make it work, but it's a minor edit...

The file in question is the Console.aspx. This is in the Notification Server directory (default is c:\program files\altiris\notification server\console.aspx)

Open the file up in Notepad, and near the top, you will see a line like:


rm.GetString("PageTitle") %

To help you out, add your server name or other identifier in here

rm.GetString("PageTitle")

    +" - ServerName"

%

Now in your task bar, it will show up as "Altiris Console - ServerName". If you set this up on all your NSs, each one will show up differently on your task bar, letting you keep track much more easily.

Found the change for Console 6.5

You can do the same thing in the new console by changing header.aspx in the \Program Files\Altiris\CustomConsole\Web folder. Here is my change in that file:

<code><title><%= resMgr.PAGETITLE +" - Desktop NS"%></title></code>

Yes, this is good, but is there any way to remove the branding from IE Titlebar alltogether or to remove the standard "Altiris Console 6.5" to put something else in such as "Master Console"?? Or to our Company Name?
