The SMP Service Account / Application Identity had been accidently deleted from the Symantec Administrators group
NOTE: The following solution will only work if the "NT Authority\System" account is still a member of the Symantec Administrators group. You can confirm this by running the following SQL Query:
exec spGetDelayLoadRoleMembers @RoleGuid='2E1F478A-4986-4223-9D1E-B5920A63AB41',@TrusteeList=N'{2E1F478A-4986-4223-9D1E-B5920A63AB41}'
1) Download PSExec (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553)
2) Open CMD as an Administrator and then execute the following command:
PsExec.exe /s /i "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
This will launch Internet Explorer as the NT Authority/System account.
3) Navigate to the Altiris Console (http://localhost/altiris/console/) and then to the security role manager and re-add the Service Account to the Symantec Administrator group.
