    Hello there,

         Add DNS suffix as mentioned in this technote

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH62466 : Disaster Recovery of a Microsoft Windows 2003 Server fails with the error "The media server was unable to connect to the Remote Agent on machine ServerName.FQDN.Local. The media server will use the local agent to try to complete the operation. Unable to attach to \\ServerName.FQDN.Local\C:"

     

    This technote does mention the error that you are getting too.

     

    Let me know the result after following these steps.

     

    Regards,

    -Sush...

Im a bit lost now Im afraid, when I try to recover my stand alone server, after installing the OS surly I just need BE2012 installing and not the remote agent as it has nothing to connect to the RDX drive is local to this server.
