Using sample jobs to perform post-installation tasks

When you have completed the RAID configuration and installed an operating system, you can use sample jobs provided by the Toolkit to perform post installation tasks, such as installing the IBM Director Agent and applying UpdateXpress System Pack updates.

Before you begin

To use these jobs, Altiris Agent must be installed on the target system. Altiris Agent is installed automatically by the operating system installation tasks provided by the Toolkit. If the operating system on the target system was not installed through these jobs, you might have to install Altiris Agent manually. See Installing an operating system with sample jobs for more information about using the modular deployment tools to install operating systems.

About this task

The Toolkit provides sample jobs for installing the IBM Director Agent and applying IBM UpdateXpress System Pack (UXSP) updates to a target system on which RAID has been configured and a supported Windows operating system has been installed.

Installing IBM Director Agent and UpdateXpress System Pack updates on the client system requires Administrator privileges. To successfully run the Altiris post installation tasks for IBM Director Agent and UpdateXpress System Pack updates, you must change the security context of the task by adding the password for the Administrator account on the client system. See "Changing the security context of an Altiris task."
