Ok, I think I might not have properly described the network, but here’s what we’re working with:
9 workstations running Windows XP connected to a Windows 2003 Small Business Server.
Each of the workstations have local admin, users can install programs on thier own computers without needing special permissions from the network admin.
The workstations, however, do not have admin rights across the network on other computers, so I think that might be part of the problem.
I am currently trying to set up ADNM on one of the 9 workstations. I was able to install the software, but it the deployment task fails when I try to push it onto other computers on the network. I have run the discovery task and identified the two workgroups involved (one workgroup is for the server itself, the other one is for the workstations), and checked the information from the discovery task with the ipconfig on each workstations and all the information checks out OK.
When looking at the properties for the workstation I’m trying to do the deployment task from, it has the correct computer name and the Domain & Computer Group are both identified as the workgroup where all the workstations are allocated.
When I check the Access Rights for the deployment task, the “Object Security Settings…” window shows me the following information:
“Object Name”: Installing C9 Package (this is the workstation name where I’ve created an installation package to deploy to the rest of the network).
Object type: Session
The window below has just one object labeled “Administrator”. The program verifies by the “Test Access” feature that it has all the Rights listed: Full Control, Read, Write, Delete, Execute.
So I guess that’s why I’m a bit confused as to why it won’t deploy, it seems that it verifies that it has full rights, but when I try to run the installation task it fails every time.
