Typically workgroup computers may have ForceGuest enabled and/or may not  have accessible File Sharing, Remote RPC, WMI etc that are all required for a push install as such you will probably have to locally install the remote agent using the contents of the agents folder on the BE server itself (and then manually configure agent publishing and agent trusts afterwards.

Notes:

1) only do the local install in this way from a fully patched BE server

2) be aware that if any patches are released in the future that you willl have to manually apply these to the remote server as well

3) We do not recommend using BE in a Workgroup Environment just because of such issues.
