heheh nice to hear others share my misery.
Altiris is a great product in most ways but the users HATE it (big brother phobia). We consider ourselves a "scholastic Campus" and it has been decreed (by powers far greater than mine) that all users will have full admin rights on their PCs. They frequently go in and delete all the altiris files in program files\altiris directory and stop and disable the services.

I am simply looking for a way to counter this issue at logon by re-installing and re-enabeling it.
