<event date='12/31/2014 02:20:15.6470000 -08:00' severity='2' hostName='minint-k4hd9v9' source='BasicInvCollectorT' module='AeXBasicInventory.dll' process='PECTAgent.exe' pid='1824' thread='1828' tickCount='77626' >
<![CDATA[Error gathering inventory for AeX AC Client Agent: Not implemented (-2147467263)]]>
</event>
or you might see the Agent registration status as [PENDING]
On the task server in the Agent.log (C:\ProgramData\Symantec\Symantec Agent\Logs), you will see this error:
"Removed record for not allowed endpoint '{GUID.EN_US}', because no such endpoint is registered on NS."
As of now it seems to be issue with Aexbasicinventory.dll file(version 7.5.3200 and 7.5.3300) . Not able to send the basic inventory to the NS for Unknown client machine in Pxe.
Steps To resolve :-
Attached is the Pointfix you will need to fix this problem, Download the pointfix to the NS, and unzip the files.
-Run PfInstaller2.exe, attached to the bottom of this article on your NS.
- Refresh the Packages by going to Server Manager and click on Configuration > Task Scheduler > Task Scheduler Library, find NS.Package Refresh and right click on it and select Run.
- After package refresh make sure the package updates on the package servers. Then rebuild your Automation Envrionment to include the corrected files.
-Remove all Initial Deployment records to make sure none were created with the old file version. Do so by running the following SQL Query in SQL Management Studio:
insert into ItemToDelete (Guid,DeleteDate)
(
select Guid, GETDATE()
from vComputer where [OS Name] like '%Preinstallation%'
)
Then run the NS.Quarterly by opening Windows Task Scheduler, clicking on the Task Scheduler Library and rightclicking and running the NS.Quarter-hour
