We are running Backup Exec 12.5 SP1 on our Server. There have been a few hotfixes in the Past (SP1 including), and we have ran LiveUpdate (on the BackupServer) weekly in order to keep up to date.
However, it seams that the Remote Agents on all the other servers do not get updated by running LiveUpdate on the BackupServer itsself. The question is: How do you do it? I tried to rerun the Install Script from "Tools -> Install Agents and Media Servers on Other Servers...".
After adding a server to the list, i get the following popup:
The Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Systems version 12.5.2213 has been detected on the target computer fszsp07. There are 20 updates which will be applied to the Remote Agent.
Do you want to continue? [Yes/No]
If I add multiple servers to the list, the remote installation tool freezes and never finishes. Doing it server by server, the installation says it succeeded, but the updates still are not installed. If i try to install the remote agent on the same server again, I get the same message as above.
The only way I have figured out to get the remoteagents to the latest version is to run every single update file from \Agents\RAWS32 or \Agents\RAWSX64 on the remote servers, which is (excuse my language) a complete pain in the ass. But at least that way, beremote.exe and other files are up to date (same version as on the BackupServer). However, if I try to remotely install the agent on a remote system where i have manually updates the remote agent, it will still give me a message like above saying that the remote agent is out of date.
this is true for all our servers with two exceptions:
1. Our BackupServer is a DC. If we try to remotely install the Remote Agent onto another DC, after entering the UserCredentials, I get the following alert:
Attempt to connect to server \\fsz02 failed with the following error: Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again.
2. Remotely Installing or upgrading the RemoteAgent on our Server 2008 x64 (running Exchange 2007) is not possible. After entering the user credentials, BackupExec fails with:
Attempt to connect to server \\mail failed with the following error: Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
The Server has 8.5GB free disk space on drive C: (System Drive) and 50GB on drive D:, no other harddisks installed.
So, here's my question: How do I deploy the Hotfixes to the RemoteAgents on a regular basis?
