Defect.
Upgrade from GSS 3.1.X to GSS 3.2.
Fixed starting from GSS 3.2 RU2.
The fix is applicable to the upgrade process from 3.2.X to 3.2. RU2 (ETA 07/18/2017).
It is possible to workaround the situation when upgrading from GSS 3.1.X to GSS 3.2:
1. Create a backup copy of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Altiris\eXpress\Deployment Server\Agents\AClient";
2. Replace the files in the AClient folder with the files from the backup folder, immediately after you run the update;
3. This should keep the clients for updating as the client version would be the same.
