I installed the trial version of Backup Recovery System on a Windows 2003 Standard server.
When I'm trying to deploy the agent to another server, I all the time get the same message "Cannot deploy the agent to ServerX. Attempt to copy package failed."
I'm using a user which is Domain admins of the target server. I verified the Windows Firewall settings to allow the program as exception to be able to run.
I also modified the DCOM properties as mentionned in the user's guide.
I read in the forum that a port needs to be open but I don't know which!
Could you please help me to know which port has to be open?
I have the impression that someting locally is blocking the deployment of the copy of the files to the other server.
Do a port scan on that server to verify Windows Firewall is actually allowing access to that port. I've seen a few cases where you tell FireWall what to do, and it just ignores you.
I am experiencing the same exact problem. I am running Windows 2000 server french as the Backup Exec System recovery server.
When I try to deploy agents to the clients, it says the same exact message.
What I see on the client is that the Deploy action starts the RemoteCmd service, and then shuts it down.. then it gives the error message on the besr console...
I have no firewall what so ever. I event tried deploying it from windows 2000 server to Windows 2000 professionnal... (no firewall there..)
The account im using (actualy i Tried a few) are all domain admins in my active directory.. I don't know what to think/do...
Todd, I noticed you posted in the other thread with the same issue I am having...
That said, I am running a teamed VMWare group that is a fully functional domain and am having the same issue, so that rules out having to be on a domain.
No luck figuring this one out yet either...I'll keep checking here hoping someone has this one figured out.
