I need a solution
I have an odd issue with the ASDK I'm wondering if anyone else has seen. Essentially I'm getting a "Altiris.ASDK.NS.COM: Method failed. Exception: Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx)." message from a script. The SMP I'm running it on has SMP 7.1 SP2 MR1.1 installed witht the full ITMS suite.
This example script, run on the SMP, in an elevated cmd prompt with the appid account.
'======================================================================= set reportManagement = CreateObject("Altiris.ASDK.NS.ReportManagement") set itemManagement = CreateObject("Altiris.ASDK.NS.ItemManagement") reportManagement.TargetServer = "localhost" reportManagement.Authenticate() itemManagement.TargetServer = "localhost" itemManagement.Authenticate() reportGuid = "{1f382791-b2cf-4b39-afd3-28348693c44e}" set itemObject = itemManagement.GetItemByGuid(reportGuid) wscript.echo itemObject.Name & " : " & itemObject.Guid wscript.echo itemObject.TypeName set results = reportManagement.RunReport(itemObject.Guid) '======================================================================= |
Results in this message:

C:\Temp\Test.vbs(15, 1) Altiris.ASDK.NS.COM: Method failed. Exception: Guid shou
ld contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).
But the guid provided does meet the 32 digit and 4 dash criteria. The GetItemBy guid method for itemmanagement uses it fine but the reportmanagement class does not. My original test used reportManagement.RunReport(reportGuid) with the same result. I also get the same result running remotely (with the installation of the asdk and adding credentials to the script).
The example above is really just an expansion of the example given in the asdk help file.
