Using Rdeploy to push out Guest OS

Is there a firewall port that need to be opened in the ESX Service Console to allow us to use Altiris RapidDeploy to push out a guest?

We can PXE Boot access the Dserver, but it hangs tight as soon as the push begins.

Any pointers?

That is because mine is set to 5001. Take a look at what your Altris / RDP is set to and make them match

  1. Firewall Configuration

\# Enable adlagent and file transfer ports

\# You need to set a static port ("4300" in this example) for file transfer in

\# the deployment console under Tools->Options->Global

esxcfg-firewall --openPort 402,tcp,out,adlagent

esxcfg-firewall --openPort 5001,tcp,out,adlagentFileTransfer

esxcfg-firewall --openPort

5001,tcp,out,adlagentFileTransfer

A little confusion:

You say port 4300 in this example and there is no 4300 on your esxcfg-firewall commands.

Did you misstype or am I lost?
