Deployment task trying to use local admin account on machine, not one in task

I’ve found that while I’m able to deploy the agent to XP machines I can’t deploy to Windows 7, even though the login I configured in the task is in the Local Administrators group on the machine I’m trying to deploy to. Oddly it looks from the remote install log (below) like it’s trying to use the local administrator logon for the machine it’s deploying to, not the one I specified in the task?

I’m still having difficulty with this and it’s holding up my testing, does anyone have any ideas? I keep seeing the attached on the Win7 machine when I see this problem.

I’ve found out the problem, or rather a colleague spotted it after I’d been banging my head against this problem for some time. Even though I’d specified the domain in the domain field, I also needed to put it before the user name as well. I foolishly thought that Avast would take the domain name and prepend it to the username with a backslash like every other piece of software that takes user names this format! At least now I can get on with the rest of my testing.

yeah that can cause a lot of headaches missing that setting. It is mentioned in the manual tho i believe… :slight_smile: actually its even in the screen where you put in the domain and usename :wink:

I too would expect that when you fill in the domain in a special field the software would add it automatically, BUT the only reason i can think of that this isnt done is because of deployment to non-domain computers too.
Though I cant think of a situation where there is a mix of domain and non-domain computers, but its the only valid reason i can think of.
