Prefferred server format change with SP2

NDI_Landesk Mar 18, 2014 3:55 AM

Hi,

I've installed a new Core Server with 9.5 SP2

I try all the things i'm using with by Landesk 9.5 Production Server and i've problem with provisionning.

I deploy MDT masters with Landesk and i need to change some configurations files to point to the preferred server instead of the core.

I was using Replaceprefserv.exe to make these changes.

It seems that the format in preferredservers.dat has change (there's now a "Null" characater at the end).

So now, by configuration files aren't correct.

Is someone has encountered this problem or have a solution.

I think that tool was wrote by Landesk, it' was by previous integrator that give it to me.

I've the source code of the éxécutable, but it's a little bit complicate for me to do changes in it.

Regards

I have never heard of ReplacePrefServ.exe.

I think that may be a file made by a third-party.

What configuration changes do you need to make? I would imagine that these are changes you can make within the product.

In the past you had to do custom scripting to use preferred servers throughout LANDesk but with the later version you have actions like map to preferred servers in provisioning which resolved these issues for many tasks.

With these I have no more custom scripts so hopefully you can find ways to complete what you need within the product now as Dave mentioned.

In fact i think the ReplacePrefServ.exe was built on Prefmap.exe.

I'm using Map to preferred actions in provisionning, but i also need to change the name of the server to the name of the preferred server in some configuration.

In 9.5 it was working very well, since i've upgrade in SP2, there's a "NULL" character at the end of the preferred server name so it makes some trouble when replaced in my configuration files;

Ther's perhaps other solution, but i haven't find any when i search.

Any idea are appreciate.

I'll try to decompress and made changes in the ReplacePrefServ.exe
