Stop the BE services on this MMS server and remove the .crt and .key files from the Data directory (Move it to an alternate location). Restart the BE services and try to establish a trust between the CASO and this MMS. Once this is done, try establishing a trust with other remote servers from this MMS server.

Windows 8 is not supported by BE 2010 Rx...you need to upgrade to BE 2014 for this.
It might've been that you got lucky initially to get it working in the first place.

Check the BE 2014 SCL above.
Thanks!

Is BE 2010 R3 fully updated, i.e are all servers fully patched ?
If certificates are not being generated, can you confirm this feature is not disabled in the registry. Check the value of "Security Disabled" which should be set to 0 under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Backup Exec For Windows\Backup Exec\Engine\Agents
10-27-2014 11:41 PM
all systems fully updated
Feature is not disabled in registry. but one thing happens:
local installation possible withopuit errors - but no certifikate created.
Push installation fails with this error:
10-27-2014,15:28:13 : FATAL ERROR: The profile for the user is a temporary profile.
.

.
10-27-2014,15:28:13 : The Installation Failed!
10-27-2014,15:28:13 : The return code is: 1603
10-27-2014,15:28:13 : ERROR: Installation failed with error 1603. GetLastError = :0
10-27-2014 11:45 PM
...are you running the installation with DOmain Admin rights?
Also, I assume you've seen the info below:

Thanks!

no domain rights - but on other 56 servers the push installation works. the servce accout has the needed rights for installation. as i wrote before: local installation of agent works - but no certificate is created - trust not working
10-28-2014 12:03 AM
OK...so try with an account with domain admin rights, preferably the BESA and see if it creates the trust then with the associated certificate.
Thanks!
EDIT: See below...
10-28-2014 12:27 AM
thats not allowed in our company - we have at least over 200 servers in the backup. each push installation was done with the be service account..it wsorks - but not on this 4 servers. thats strange. Needed rights are not the problem
10-28-2014 12:29 AM
Well OK then...I would then suggest logging a call in this regard.
Thanks!

Local install will not create the certificates. They should be created once a trust is established. Are you able to establish a trust from the CASO server instead ? Are you able to trust any remote server using the affected MMS servers ?
10-28-2014 02:28 AM
i am able to create a trust from CASO and other MMS servers. Just from this one not
