Hello,
Our company has over 3500 7.1 Symantec Management Agents installed on various (all windows 7) systems, but there are about thirty (30) what i call bad agents.
Whenever there's a deployment, these will always fail and when I connect to them the SMA service is either not started (not visible in the bottom right hand side corner) or has three (3) instances running which disappear when I attempt to click on them.
I have reinstalled these agents over 10 times using aexagentutil /uninstallagents /clean and then a push for the Notification Server, which fixes the agent for about 10 minutes, which is luckily enough to get my deployment to that computer done.
However, it is very frustrating that every time I deploy software I have to spend multiple hours reinstalling all the bad agents.
Is there another way of reinstalling the agent that might provide a permanent solution? I'd hate to have to reimage every single one of those computers as they're working just fine other than that.
Thanks,
Thijn
