Reducing Task Server Speed Test Traffic

Products

• IT Management Suite

Issue/Introduction

Endpoints are using speed tests to dermine task server connectivity and availability.

Environment

ITMS 8.0, 8.1

Cause

 

 

Resolution

Use the NoSpeedTests registry setting for each server entry on endpoints. 

A command line run script task can be used to modify/create the value. 

Example:

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\Communications\Servers\http//<SiteServerFQDN1> /t REG_DWORD /v NoSpeedTests /d 1 /f

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\Communications\Servers\http://<SiteServerFQDN2> /t REG_DWORD /v NoSpeedTests /d 1 /f

This step will need to be done for each server entry at the registry location.
