Clients Configuration Request not updating within the defined Request interval

  • 1.  Clients Configuration Request not updating within the defined Request interval

    Posted Oct 14, 2019 03:14 PM

    Hi I'm looking for feed back and a solution.

    I have a 8.5 ru1 environment with mostly windows10 and some windows  7 clients running version 8.5.3645.0 of the Altiris Client. Of these machines some reboot and some never until needed.

    I have noticed that not all, but a good percentage of sma (symantec management agent) client's configuration request ARE NOT updating within defned request interval of 4 hours (240 minutes).

    A initiated Configuration Request or Send Basic Inventory Task from the SMC (Symantec Management Console) or the RAAD (remote altiris agent Diagnostic) tool will not update either the Configuration Request or Send Basic Inventory date time stamp, and ONLY RESTARTING the sma will fix the issue until it stops again.

    The issue is the sma configuration requests are not updating within the defined request interval on the 8.5.3645 version

    The question i have is anybody else experiencing this issue (below is sql  to identify if you are)  and what is the fix ?

     

    sql query to identify machines, the Last Configuration request column date time value should be within your confiured configuration request interval for machines that are online.  Adjust the sql filters accordlying to your environment....

    select
        vc.guid,
        vc.domain
        ,vc.name
        ,vc.[OS Name]
        ,vc.[IP Address]
        ,ah.[Agent Version Health]
        ,ah.[Last Configuration Request]
        ,ah.[Configuration Health]
        ,ctr.LastRegistered 
    from vcomputer vc
    join Inv_Client_Task_Resources ctr on ctr._ResourceGuid = vc.Guid  and ctr.IsActive = 1                      -- client online status
    join vAC_AgentHealth ah on ah.ResourceGuid = vc.guid 
    where
    datediff(day,ah.[Last Configuration Request],getdate()) > 0 and datediff(day,ctr.lastregistered,getdate()) >= 3 and
    ([OS Name] not like '%server%' and [OS Name] not like '%mac%')
    and vc.IsManaged = 1

    order by vc.domain, ah.[Agent Version Health], ah.[Last Configuration Request] desc

    Hi WDRAIN1!

    WDRAIN1: have noticed that not all, but a good percentage of sma (symantec management agent) client's configuration request ARE NOT updating within defned request interval of 4 hours (240 minutes).

    IP: SMA probably done request but Notification Server doesn't have anything new in policy xml for this managed client computer. You can check which managed client computers done policy request from NS

    Use default "Client Configuration Policy Statistics" report and set there required 'Last N Days' parameter value to see summary of policies requests from your managed computers so you can identify which computers weren't really requesting policies from NS per N days ago.

    SMP Console -> "Reports" -> "All Reports" and find there ""Client Configuration Policy Statistics" report

    Thanks,

    IP.
