Unable to boot to automation Error 116 after upgrade to 6.9 SP4

[Stefan Muench]

Hello folks,

after upgrading to RDP 6.9 SP4 (Build 453) I encounter strange PXE problems. Some elements of some deployment jobs work, others don´t. I can reproduce the error.

Job elements such as "execute script" and "restart" work fine, but a job that only gets a new inventory will fail with error "unable to boot to automation" code 116.

I have tried: reinstall deplyoment, redone and rebuilt the PXE configuration several times (I had to add hosts-entries for the deployment server anyways), set the preboot envirionment for job elements to Windows or Linux - no change in behavior, always the same "unable to boot... 116".

Does anyone have an idea what this can be caused by and how it can be solved?

Regards,
Stefan Muench

I finally managed to get the deployment working by changing the user under which the Altiris services are running to a user with higher privileges. Looks like there is some kind of rights issue, maybe file rights. I will have to sort that out later.
