Issue/Introduction

PECTAgent error when we try to deploy images with Deployment Solution:

apps\DeploymentClient\PECTAgent\ClientConfig.cpp:1016 CClientConfig::PostTCPIPInventory response=<error number="80041002" nsVersion="8.5.5032.0"><![CDATA[
    The get package settings request XML is invalid.
        GetResourceGuid request format: UpdateTCPIP.aspx?xml=<<BODY>>
   ExecuteCommand.cpp:2695 PECTAgent.cpp::Client is UnManaged
 Running: AgentException occured 'CInitialDeployTask::ScheduleInitialDeploymentJob()', return code 2147746291, location '..\..\apps\DeploymentClient\PECTAgent\InitialDeployTask.cpp:214'

Environment

ITMS 8.x

Cause

If an environment was initially configured to work over HTTPs, and later switched to HTTP, then PXE server still stays connected over HTTPs, and doesn't update \Altiris Agent\Agents\Deployment\PECTAgent.ini

On a remote machine the pectagent.ini is updated based on NS profile information. Port and transport is taken from current NS Agent->NS connection information. So if agent connects using HTTPs, then HTTPS will be set in pectagent.ini.

 

 

Resolution

Reinstalling NBS on the affected site server should clear up the issue. However, if that doesn't work, a custom boot.wim with the correct connection (http:80 vs https:443) could resolve the issue.
