Install Remote Agent on w2k8 R2 Core

[Peter_Abrahamss]

Hi

I try to install the remote agent for Backupexec12.5 on a w2k8 R2 Core server. From the server the installations fails and when I run the setup /rawsx64: -s from the core server noting happens? Were is the installation log filed saved?
How do I install the agent on a core server? I alsow tried the setupaax64.cmd file but the same problem.

The server is a DC server.

Regards
Peter

Please note that Windows 2008 R2 is not supported with backup Exec 12.5 . Please check following software compatibility list:
ftp://exftpp.symantec.com/pub/support/products/Backup_Exec_for_WindowsNT/307063.pdf

Although, you may check the install log located in c:\program data\symantec\backup exec\logs folder to check if any error message.

Thanks

Hi

Do you know when 2008 R2 will be supported?

I found the log files but the information was not so simple to read. I get error - "Installation failed with error 1603"
This error code seems to reflex many problems?

I have installed the remote agent on others R2 servers. Any ide why it not works this time. Any ide what to try next?

Regards

Peter

Full support for Media Server installation and new functionality will be provided as part of the BE 2010 release
