SSR 2013 Boot issue with hard disc copy
Hello, I'm having troubles with cloning a hard disk with W2000 SP3 on it. I'm usin SSR2013 60-days trial version. Tha clone would not boot and stucks at "Attempting Boot From Hard Disk (C:)" moessage. Have redused the size of the primary partition on target disk to 40GB. In the forums I found some hints on BESR 8.x, but the options mentioned there are not available in SSR 2013. I'll appreciate any suggestions.SSR 2013 Recovery Disk Does Not Boot
I have the SSR 2013 Recovery Disk and Have also downloaded the SSR 2013 SP2 Recovery Disk and neither will boot for over 30-45 minutes. What has gone wrong with this product. SSR 2011 works fine and boots up in a couple of minutes. With SSR 2013 it just sits at the Black Screen with the Blue Windows Logo does not show any activity until over 30-45 minutes. This is with various hardware mostly x64 based but some 32-bit also. I have also tried running it in a VM but that crashes also. Am I missing something? I having to look at another product now due to the issues with the 2013 Recovery Disk. I have a support call open with Symantec on this issue but they don't understand the issue, fob off after fob off. They have just asked me to download a tool onto the desktop!!! I don't have a desktop, the os haqs corrupted hence why I need the recovery disk to restore it. Sadly I'm going to have to look at another product unless this is resolved, it's a shame as I've been using it since v7.5 but this version is a disaster.
the same GUID on two computers
I have two computers with the same GUID in Altiris Agent. So I deleted them from SSR-MS, then reset Guid (AeXAgentUtil.exe /resetguid), and then restart agent. But when I checked them it had again the same new GUID. So I've found on Altiris KB some script: 'vbscript Change GUID then force client to update configuratin and send basic inventory Dim WshShell Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell" ) Dim TypeLib, sNewGuid Set TypeLib = CreateObject("Scriptlet.TypeLib" ) sNewGUID = TypeLib.Guid Set TypeLib = Nothing sNewGuid = left(sNewGUID, len(sNewGUID)-2) ' wscript.echo " # Guid Generated " + sNewGuid WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Altiris\Altiris Agent\MachineGuid" ,sNewGuid, "REG_SZ" WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Altiris\Client Service\NSMachineGuid" ,sNewGuid, "REG_SZ" WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Altiris\eXpress\MachineGuid" ,sNewGuid, "REG_SZ" WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Altiris\eXpress\NS Client\MachineGuid" ,sNewGuid, "REG_SZ" WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Computing Edge\Notification Server\MachineGuid" ,sNewGuid, "REG_SZ" Dim client Set client=WScript.CreateObject ("Altiris.AeXNSClient" ) ignoreBlockouts=1 sendIfUnchanged = 1 client.SendBasicInventory sendIfUnchanged, ignoreBlockouts client.UpdatePolicies ignoreBlockouts Probably it works well/better. Now in Resource Manager I see both computers. But when I click "Symantec System Recovery Details" in SSR-MS I have information that "The Symantec System Recovery configuration data is not available" What to do with this?
