Hi All
 
I know there a few people who use Altiris so hoping someone can help.
 
We have an automated scripted build which we use to build DL 380G3, DL360 G3 
and G4, DL 385 G1 and G2.
 
It is a single build with all drivers etc loaded.
 
We are now trying to build a BL465c blade.  We have added all drivers etc to 
our build and all other model types continue to work fine.  However with the 
blade the automated build keeps stopping on the PXE boot screen and the name of 
the host within Altiris keeps changing.  It changes too 
"UnnamedRack-GB11111111-14"  If we change the name with altiris back and hit 
enter on the PXE screen it continues to work.
 
Anyone else seen this.  Got PXE set as the primary boot option on the blade and 
going to try an updated NIC firmware but everything else seems up to date.
 
Also whilst doing our automated 2003 build it stops and asks for the admin 
password.  None of the other server models to this.  Again ideas?
 
I don't have to do anything special with a blade with Altiris do I?  I am not 
trying to mange the blade enclosure or anything like this and can't see that 
within altiris.
 
Malcolm
