LiteSwitch v1 

Oct 12, 2010 06:29 PM

Warning: This is not the most current version, please go here.

 

LiteSwitch is a small utility meant to be run from a thumbdrive that provides useful functions for configuring the Altiris Deployment Agent settings on Windows XP/Vista/7. It currently supports three functions which are:

  • Telling you the current deployment server (DS) assignment of the computer
  • Restarting the AClient/DAgent service
  • Letting you change the deployment server assignment of the computer

To view the current DS:

  • Launch LiteSwitch
  • Click on “Get Current DS”
  • A message box will display the current DS assignment

To restart the DS service:

  • Launch LiteSwitch
  • Click on “Restart Service”
  • If you want to verify it was restarted, an Event Log is written with Event ID #7036

To change the DS assignment:

  • Launch LiteSwitch
  • Type an IP or Hostname into the text box
  • Click on “Change”
  • Verify it was changed by clicking “Get Current DS”
  • The DS service should be restarted to ensure the client immediately reports to the new DS

Please note this should be considered a BETA release, there is no error checking in the utility yet. Please report any bugs or feature requests and I'll do my best to address them.

I have released version 1.1 of LiteSwitch. This includes some better error handling. Please keep in mind this is for the AClient/Dagent for Deployment Solution 6.8/6.9 (through SP4) on client machines.

Thanks for this helpful tool. For you info, it works fine on MS Win XP SP3 and DS 6.x.

This looks like a really neat utility, I love it, but when I ran it with my XP computer and the 7.0.8641.1641 client, I get an unhanded exception error.  So, I'm hoping for a version 1.1 of LiteSwitch!
