We are using W2K3 SP1 R2 Server as a workgroup server (not domain controller) with 4 client PCs. Two clients are W2K Pro, the other two are XP Pro SP2.
ADNM sees all the machines including XP machines but cannot determine the OS on the XP machines, and always fails deployment to them. W2K machines get deployed to flawlessly. Was once able to somehow get one (of two) XP Pro machines to accept deployment, but it does not get updated.
Is there some default service/setting on XP Pro that must be enabled/disabled/configured in order for ADNM to see/deploy to it?
I’d be happy to upload logs, etc. if they would help determining the problem.
when the WORKGRPOUPS are different it get an 0000x005 error.
after i moved the destination machine to the WORKGRPOUP of the ADNM system, it runs… (i have to wait until 10 minutes, that the WINS get the information)
all runs fine after that.
I disabled windows brandmower (or firewall) service on XP, and it helped.
We haven’t other firewalls. If they presents i think they must be disabled too, and maybe XP need to reboot to kill them in memory.
And also admin account must present and be active.
