Trouble with push install

I am having trouble with a push install only on a few selected workstations. As with all other workstations I have ensured that I have satisfied the following criteria.

- Target must respond to a ping from the server
- Administrative user used for install cannot have a blank password.
- If the client and server are in a mixed domain/workgroup environment (or the server is 2003), simple file sharing must be turned off on XP clients
- Client for MS Network (server, client)
- Activated file and printer sharing (client)
- File Sharing permitted on firewall (client, server)
- TCP/IP (client, server)
- ADMIN$ share (Client)
- Remote registry service started (client)
- Account used for installation must have Administrator Rights

Is there anything that I may have overlooked?

Cheers, Brett

 

Hi brett05, welcome to Wilders.

What error message are you receiving?

Cheers

 

The error message in Remote Administrator Console is -->

"Could not set up IPC connection to target computer (SC error code 6, GLE error code 53)"

Thanks, Brett

 

Double check the firewall...perhaps even disable it for the push attempt. I've run across a couple of rigs that were flakey enough where the firewall wasn't propertly allowing networking to function even though checked in the exceptions.

Make sure the workstations are using your DC's IP as their DNS

Try the TCP/Winsock rebuild utility..in case their winsock is hosed with some malware

Thanks guys,

It was Windows firewall. I already had TCP445 enabled under file & printer sharing, but just needed to also enable TCP139, UDP137 & UDP138. At this point, I have no idea what these do, but my push install seems to be going now.
