The 5.3.53177 release of the KACE Agent contains a bug that causes the Agent Alert! icon to appear in the dock during every inventory update, even though it should only appear when an alert is pushed to the client machine. A simple Online Kscript can be created to correct the issue. Follow these steps:
- Navigate to Scripting>Choose Action>Add New Item.
- Create an Offline Kscript and name it Fix Admin Alert 10.5.
- Scroll down to Supported Operating Systems:. Select Mac OS X 10.5.8 (x86) (and if required, also select the PPC version too).
- Alerts (optional)
- Under Scheduling, select Don't run on a schedule and Run Once at next Client Checkin.
