I just had an interesting "moment" attempting to deploy to 8 servers.
Of those 8, 7 are already built and patched up to date with Windows updates. 1 isn't - it's a virgin 2008 R2 install with nothing on it yet. The one that isn't patched (yet has the same domain credentials and firewall rules as the others) deployed successfully, the others failed with the ID Primer Authentication error. I think a Windows patch may disable the Primer's ability to log in.

The fix was to manually reinstall the IDManager portion on our VAIM distribution servers.

I cannot for the life of me get the SysEdge agents to deploy to any Windows server. The main error is "Primer Authentication Failed" even though I've tried the local Administrator login AND the Domain Admin logins.

At CA World the Prod Mgr promised much better performance out of 12.5 and still more out of 12.6. Which version are you using? We are in the process of upgrading and are hopeful for the behavior of the new version. Thanks -Rob On 5/15/2012 8:41 AM, David Game wrote: Have a look at CA Virtual Assurance or Infrastructure Managers (VAIM) - it's designed for just that, and will push out Sysedge, plus the add-ons to Windows and Unix (LPAR) servers. Not sure how it works with other flavours of Unix/Linux though. Currently, I'm having a few problems with it that I'm ironing out with support but that's probably down to my over-complicated cross-domain set up! I'm about to build another one for a slightly less-complicated network so if you like I'll let you know how easy/quickly I can deploy Sysedge to those servers. Regards Dave From: Calvin Lane [mailto:calvin.l...@gmail.com] Sent: 15 May 2012 14:12 To: spectrum Subject: [spectrum] Deploying sysEdge agents Hello everyone, Quick question for the group: How do you upgrade/deploy a large number of sysEdge agents? Let's say you have 600 servers to upgrade from 4.3 to 5.1; what method do you use to do it? I understand it would different for unix vs windows. Are you utilizing your operating system's software distribution capabilities or some other type of tool? Thanks in advance for your input.
