Dear All,
I tried lots of things and "RunAs Administrator" was one of them (which usually works). Also, running as the Altiris Credentials does not do it.
It seems that Task 7 - configuring the Notification Server/Platform Core is the big, bad one.
It seems to think that there is nothing at the end of the Shared Pipe. I have checked the configuration of the SQL server and Shared Pipes is switched on and working OK. I can get to the server via the SQL Server Management Studio, etc.
Hmmm. I have run the ngen commands and switched off the SMA, as is documented. I have recombined the IIS App Pools.
What is wrong? This process is taking 3 hours EACH AND EVERY TIME I DO IT and I am ready to ward people off the product...
Regards,
Not-so-QuietLeni
