Access - Symantec DEPLOYMENT SOLUTION 6.9 SP4 Manual

Altiris Deployment Solution™ from Symantec User's Guide
Managed computers should use the Deployment Server IP address if multicasting is
disabled on the network routers or if they are not on the same network segment as the
Deployment Server. The port number must match the number set on the Deployment
Server. Otherwise, the client computers cannot connect.
Server Name. Enter the NetBIOS name of the computer running the Deployment
Server.
Port. Enter the port number distributing the multicast address.
Multicast Address. Enter the group multicast address.
TTL. Specifies the number of routers the multicast request can pass through. Change
this setting if you want to locate a Deployment Server that is more than 32 routers away
(default setting) or to restrict the search to a smaller number of routers, making it
easier to find the closest Deployment Server.
Refresh connection after idle. Select the Refresh Connection after idle check box
and set the refresh time in hours or days. The Deployment Server closes the connection
after the specified time and immediately tries to re-open the connection. This sends a
message to client computers that the network is down.
The default checking is of 28800 seconds or 8 hours. We recommend keeping this
setting above 28800. Do not set this option too low—reconnecting to the Deployment
Server increases bandwidth when connecting. If this option is set too low, your client
computers will take longer to connect than to refresh their connections.
Abort files transfers if rate is slower than. Select this option to preserve bandwidth
when running deployment tasks on slower connections.

Set these commands to control the way the client handles requests from the server.
Allow this computer to be remote controlled. Select to let the administrator
remotely control the selected computer. The default setting is to NOT let the computer
be remotely controlled.
Prompt the user before performing actions. You can select the following options to
prompt the user before the corresponding action is performed:
Shut down and Restart. Prompts the user before shutting down and restarting the
computer. This feature overrides the Power Control option from the Deployment
Server to force applications to shut down without a message.
Copy file and Run command. Prompts the user before running a program or
executing file copy commands.
Remote Control. Prompts the user before running the Remote Control commands.
Time to wait for user response. If one of the Prompt the user before perform
actions is selected and the user is not at the computer to respond, you need to decide
whether to continue or abort the operation. Specify the time to wait for the user's
response, and select one of the following:
Continue the operation. Select to continue if there is no response from the
user.
Abort the operation. Click to not continue if there is no response from the
user.
