Altiris client on linux disconnects

HMN — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 08:07:12 GMT

I have a lot of blade servers deployed with rdp, and after a couple of hours the servers are displayed as disconnected in the rdp client.

If I try to deploy jobs to the servers they don't start running the job, they just wait. If I then log on to one of the servers it reconnects to the rdp server and an icon of a person is shown, and the server stats running the jobs.

All the servers run redhat enterprise 4 and they are all installed through rdp.

Can I tweak how often the client should reconnect, or is there something I can do to test whats wrong ?

I'm not sure what version of RDP you have but this seems to be an old issue that I beleive was fixed with newer versions of RDP.

Create a custom config:

and edit

Edit the [Transport] section to set UseMcast=false and TCPAddr=â RDP server IP Addressâ , then do a â service adlagent restartâ

See that fixes the problem.

I am running the newest rdp, and the options you mention is already configured.

Can I enable debug somewhere to get clues to whats wrong ?
