Restart Altiris Agent task fails to complete (return code = 1060). Task Server correctly sends the Restart Altiris Agent task off to the client. However, the agent never starts (Status = Failed) and returns the code = 1060.
Steps to reproduce:
Schedule "Restart Altiris Agent"
The client task receives the task and the Altiris Agent logs show …..Task: ‘Restart Altiris Agent’ has started/finished…
Environment
ITMS 8.x
Resolution
Workaround:
Create a script task script that spawns a second script. (The script task script does not wait for the completion of the spawned script before returning.)
The second script performs the service restart for 'AeXNSClient'.
