When you start playing with the new RC2 downloaded from the BETA site then don't forget to enable the  "Altiris Agent for Windows - Upgrade" policy to get started, otherwise you are working with an old agent on the NS SERVER only, the agents get deployed ok. (This is because the agent is installed during the base install during the setup)
