[Veritas-bu] Windows 2003 Client Install Problem

Is there not a way to push the software to the Windows servers from within 
Veritas?  I thought that if you had a Windows master, you could push the client 
software to the windows clients (like you do from a Unix master to the Unix 
clients).

There was/is a problem with installing NetBackup using the batch files while 
logged into terminal server. It has something to do with the install package 
trying to write to console0, but since your logged in via terminal server you 
can't get the console message. 
 
For 2003, you can get to the console remotely if your using a Windows XP 
client. Try going to a command prompt on the XP machine and run mstsc /?. One 
of the options is /console.  For Win2k, the only answer is to install from the 
console. I don't like this one bit, but until Veritas gets their act together 
and learns how to make the install package work I'm afraid that were stuck with 
it. Hope this helps
 
 
Thanks,
 
Kris

I'm having issues trying to install the Veritas client on Windows 2003 servers. 
 When the batch file is running against the servers, the W2K servers will 
install fine, but the 2003 servers fail.  This also happens when I try to 
select the 2003 servers from the client msi file on the CD.    If I log onto 
the console of the 2003 server, I can install the client just fine from the 
install point, using the client msi file and selecting install to this pc only.

 

I have heard there is a registry hack to allow Veritas batch files to run on a 
2003 server, has anybody heard of this?

 

Thanks
