I was going to say sounds like PXe is not installed properly. Once you get up
to speed with altiris you will want the client of every workstation on your
network and wonder how you did without it! It is THE best management tool we
own.

I've done a full reinstall of Altiris and the PXE service is now behaving.
What's more, my test terminal has seen it and responded accordingly. I may
actually have turned the corner on this one.

Subject: [THIN] More Altiris headaches.
It's lucky I'm not particularly hirsute normally, because I'd be a lot less
hairy now if I was?
I'm trying to use Altiris Express 6.1 to manage an impending batch of 250 HP
T5300 and T5700 terminals. I can happily configure them, remotely control
them and do anything except image them. Jim and others have given lots of
help regarding PXE and Bootworks and I feel I'm nearly there but I just
haven't been able to get the terminals to see the PXE server. this morning,
I've discovered that's probably because the PXE service on my dedicated
(VMWare virtual) Altiris server terminates a few seconds after it is
started, with a service-specific error 1003 in the system log. The
application log has "ERROR: Unable to query master PXE proxyDHCP for
multicast Address Allocation parameters". This is my only PXE server and as
far as I can tell Multicasting is disabled.
I've googled for the error message and come back with one, unhelpful, hit.
Can anyone suggest somewhere to start looking?
Angus
