Snap Deploy - Master Image Check Error

[kiplaws]

Just installed everything on one PC (Snap Deploy):

License Server Management Console, Deployment Management Console, PXE server and the OS Deploy Server.

I had two .tib images saved off on a different HDD. The very first thing I tried to do is verify those images. When I click on the "Check Master Image" tool, I get this message:

Error:

E00640022: Unsupported protocol
Agent on the remote computer does not support creating/checking image protocols or it has a different version.

What is causing this? I have installed everything on the same PC. There is no "remote" machine housing any of the installed items.

Note: When installing the OS deployment server software, you're prompted for the address or name of the license server. I entered "localhost". Would that cause this error? Should I have used 127.0.0.1? Should I have let the installer find the server itself?

Thanks in advance!!

Just my $.02 worth but for the purposes of Snap Deploy both "localhost" and "127.0.0.1" are ambiguous. You should supply either the name of the computer or it's IP address.
At the very least it is worth a try just to see if it makes any difference.

Hello Kip,
Another thought, why not try installing the Remote Management Agent to this computer as well, then try again and see what happens. Be sure to post your results in the Forum...

Doxie....

Hey Kip,
Glad that worked for you.
I don't feel you necessarily have to have everything installed on the same computer, but rather if you want to perform operations such as image verification over the Network, Snap Deploy relies on the Remote Management agent to facilitate the communication and therefore must be installed on your target computer.
Bottom line is it worked for you, you are happy, now let's drink! 8)
