Can't push install to a 2003 SP1 server

Hi all

I've never had a problem using Remote Admin Console to push install NOD to 2000 servers, but am getting problems pushing to 2003 servers running SP1.

I'm sure it's nothing I'm doing wrong, as I've never had a problem with push installs before. Has anyone else seen this problem - is it NOD or SP1 which is at fault?

thanks

 

Hi dannyboy:

What is the error code in the console when a push is attempted?

 

No probs here, don't you have a firewall enabled?

 

thanks for the replies

the error message is "NOD32 Installer Service did not start on target computer within timeout period".

The only firewall is one at the gateway level, but it doesn't affect the LAN at all.

I was assuming there must have been some kind of update in 2K3 SP1 which is causing a problem. e.g. DEP (data execution prevention)

 

More than likely the RAC communication ports are being blocked on the Server side.

 

Dannyboy, I am getting something similar. Did you ever fix it?

 

If you have RAS installed on Win2k, I'd suggest that you adjust RAS' properties and set it to run in an admin account instead of the default local system account.
