Deployment Solution Adlagent Running on Ubuntu

Ubuntu by default creates a symbolic link for "sh" that points to "dash". Modifying the "sh" to point to "bash" will allow the adlagent to install and be configured.

The following are the steps to point "sh" to bash:

1. Open a Linux shell in an Ubuntu machine.
2. CD to the /bin folder.
3. Type "sudo rm sh" without the quotes and press enter.
4. Type "sudo ln -s bash sh".
5. Finally, execute "sudo ./ altiris-adlagent-x.x-xxx (this is the version of the adlagent).

If everything worked ok you should see the following:
