We run Ghost 3.1 MP3 that has about 800 clients connecting to it, and while it works well when it is stable, that is the minority of the time. We find that we constantly need to restart the "Altiris Deployment Server DB Management" service and the "Altiris eXpress Server" service. Sometimes we are doing this upwards of 20 to 30 times a day! What is worse is that sometimes the service claims it is still running, but we can't get machines to checkin, or tasks to run unless we restart those services. We also find that deploying automation folders and getting machines to check in takes a long time regardless of it functioning or not.
This is obviously very frustrating and I will take any suggestions on what we can do to make these stable. We have already updated all windows updates, drivers, and firmware on the server with no luck.
