76 Managing Jobs and Tasks
Dell Tasks Rollout Policy
If you are managing a large multi-tiered (hierarchical) enterprise to monitor
devices on your network, you can install the Task Server on multiple systems
to reduce the load on the
Symantec Management Console. This arrangement
also reduces the network traffic by having the Altiris Agent access the closest
Task Server for jobs and tasks downloads.
For more information on Creating and managing hierarchical relationships,
see the Online Help.
To support the multi-tiered Task Server architecture, the Dell tasks require
the Dell tasks rollout policy to be run on all the registered Task Servers.
To run the Dell tasks rollout policy on all registered Task Servers, do the
following:
• Manually enable the rollout policy that targets all Task Servers using the
built-in collection.
• After you enable the rollout policy, wait until next polling interval for the
task components to be deployed.
