10.6 Client not checking in
Hello, I'm a technician at a university that's deployed K1000 and K2000. I have noticed some of our Macs that run 10.6.x won't report to the K1000 even though the Agent is installed and running.
I've tracked it down to the following error message (in bold italics) when running runkbot 2 0, but I don't know how to fix it:
XXXmac-L000865:bin admin$ sudo ./runkbot 2 0 Password: kbot[0:0] @ 2012-12-05T15:49:53 (activity) Running kbot: runkbot 2 0 Kbot [2-0] not found locally, downloading ... kbot[0:0] @ 2012-12-05T15:49:53 (activity) Validating kbot xml kbot[0:0] @ 2012-12-05T15:49:53 (status) Kbot xml /Library/Application Support/Dell/KACE/data/kbots_cache/2-1305145611_expanded.xml, Validation Success kbot[0:0] @ 2012-12-05T15:49:53 (activity) Validation complete kbot[2:0] @ 2012-12-05T15:49:53 (status) START kbot[2:1305145611] @ 2012-12-05T15:49:53 (activity) Launching program: '/Library/Application Support/Dell/KACE/bin/KBoxClient.exe' '-server=kbox1.XXX.edu -urltype=https -company="$(KACE_COMPANY_NAME)" -splash="$(KACE_SPLASH_TEXT)" -fade=1 -notifyevent=' wait='true' sh: KACE_COMPANY_NAME: command not found sh: KACE_SPLASH_TEXT: command not found dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr Referenced from: /Library/Application Support/Dell/KACE/bin/../lib-darwin-10.4-x86/auto/Crypt/SSLeay/SSLeay.bundle Expected in: dynamic lookup dyld: Symbol not found: _Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr Referenced from: /Library/Application Support/Dell/KACE/bin/../lib-darwin-10.4-x86/auto/Crypt/SSLeay/SSLeay.bundle Expected in: dynamic lookup KreateProcessCaptureOutput: child terminated with signal: 5 kbot[2:1305145611] @ 2012-12-05T15:49:54 (output) ProcessOps_LaunchProgram: Launch failed: 0 exitCode=0 kbot[2:1305145611] @ 2012-12-05T15:49:54 (status) FINISH (in state 'remediation_failed') UploadFile: Uploaded to https://kbox1.XXX.edu/service/kbot_upload.php?BAD_MAC_IP=10.1.23.192&filename=KBOT_LOG.txt&mac=DDF5302074E04781A4CFA469104A45CB

After a lot of back and forth email with KACE support, and finally getting a webex with someone, I got a fix from their engineering department:
After reviewing the logs, engineering has asked that you rename ( mv) the
following: /Library/Application Support/Dell/KACE/lib-darwin-10.4-x86 to
/Library/Application Support/Dell/KACE/old_lib-darwin-10.4-x .
After running sudo runkbot 2 0 again, this time the machine checks in successfully!
The only problem is that if you have a large number of Macs on your campus, you'd need to check each one individually to see if they're checking in or not, as there's no way for the kbox to know if a machine has never checked in.

jtremblay, I too was having this issue on a machine that had been connecting fine for a while. In my case it turned out that the KUID,txt file had a mysterious (and invisible) line feed at the end, so that even though it would sometime show as connected in the DB, it was not able to linked to a historical machine. This is most so the case when you enable "duplicate machine detection".
So, have a look at the KUID.txt file to see if yours is like mine. I opened the file in a Windows text editor that allowed me to chomp off extra, trailing whitepace and carrige returns, and voila! sorted. - scottlutz 11 years ago
Looks to me like there is a file or process missing from the agent install.
What happens if you remove the agent and then reinstall it manually? Instructions are in the K1000 admin guide.
If that doesn't work, enable debug, force a check in and open a support ticket with KACE.
Hi, I originally asked this question but had to have my co-worker re-submit it since I'm not getting "approved". I've already manually removed and reinstalled several times. I'll look into the debug thing.
looks like a possible SSL problem communicating with the server. Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the client?
Also do you have the company name and splash text setup on the server's config pages?
I've submitted a ticket with KACE. Still waiting for a resolution.

I've had a few back and forth emails with KACE support, sent some log files. No fix yet. - jtremblay 11 years ago

Hmm, This type of error usually occurs when using a binary compiled using one version of Perl is used by an older version of Perl.
Mas osx 10.6 ships with three versions. Might just need to find the right one and set it. - jdornan 11 years ago
