Seeing there is no answer regarding my automated install of AMS style installs I am going to try mirrors. When I try to install a ADNM created msi for both the netserver and mirror I get the folowing error in the setup.log file.

If I install them by themselves there is no problem, together it doesn’t happen.
My root server has the latest ADNM version 4.7.
Please help the company I work for has spent $20,000 on this product and I would expect some local on site help to which so far I have been unable to obtain.
How did you create the two product MSI package, exactly? AFAIK when creating an installation package, you must choose exactly ONE product.
Please help the company I work for has spent $20,000 on this product and I would expect some local on site help to which so far I have been unable to obtain.
Did you purchase the product directly, or via a reseller/distributor? If reseller/distributor, please let me know which one it was. It should be possible to set up an on-site help.
The reseller we used is called Biz-Aid Pty Ltd in Australia.
I created two seperate packages one for the Netserver then the second for the Mirror.
I created an Installation package and told it to create an msi instead of pushing the install.
Like I said both work by themselves but not after another is installed.
We purchased it through a reseller. I have spoken to him a couple of times, but he keeps telling me to send screen shots of the exact process so he can send them to you guys. I would rather have someone on site to help me, I have a very different network as I have said b4 and I need advise on the the best way to handle it. 137 locations is huge and I need to know if mirrors or ams is the best way to go and if so which way to implement them. I am not at work at them moment I am home as it is 10:48 Australian Eastern Standard Time. The reseller I used seem reluctant to do on site visits as he is in another state to what I am in. I need a someone near Canberra ACT in Australia.
My email is in my profile so please feel free to contact me through email if we need to organise something. I like Avast I use it at home but it is fustrating the hell out of me at work.
When the mirror process on the ams creates a distribution directory it modifies the mirror.def file. Then when a mirror tries to download from ams the newly modified mirror.def causes the mirror to fail.
This is what the start of the mirror.def looks like b4 it is recreated in the distib dir.
Please send the following files to my email:
Management Tools\Mirror\Config\mirror.ini
Management Tools\Mirror\Config\setup.ini
Management Tools\Mirror\Log\mirror.log
Management Tools\Mirror\Mirror\mirror.def (the corrupted one)
Management Tools\Setup\setup.ini
Management Tools\Setup\setup.log
OK there is a bug in mirror.exe that wouldn’t let one mirror get its updates from another mirror, this has been fix but I still have other issues.
I want to be able to deploy a mirror and during the msi or push creation that you get to select where this mirror is going to get its updates from. I do not want mirrors updating from the internet.
I am still unable to deploy the managed server client msi and then deploy the mirror client, is someone able to look into this and provide solution or is it being worked on?
Hi,
sorry for the delay…
You can create installation package for deployment of client and mirror at once using custom admin.ini, follow these steps:
Create installation package for network client as usual
In temp folder find file asw*.tmp. If it doesn’t exist, select properties of client package and press Edit button, while the wizard is displayed, you should see asw*.tmp file in %TEMP% folder
Copy this file to some folder as admin.ini and edit it
The last value of [Groups] section should be empty, add “av_mgm_mirror” group
Create new installation package and press button “Load admin.ini”, select your edited file and confirm OK.
Now you should be able to create msi package containing both client and mirror. Preferably uninstall current version and restart windows before deploying this package.
