Problem deploying McAfee Agent 5.0.1 to Windows 7 Pro

[digualada]

Hi,

I have an ePO 5.3 installation and I am trying to deply McAfee Agent 5.0.1 and I get the following error:

"Failed to authenticate with remote system, system error: The network path was not found."

I am deploying with an user with full permissions on the remote machine.

Thanks in advance.

Open the Start Menu/Run command from the EPO server and type \\hostname\admin$ (hostname being the system's hostname that you are trying to deploy to)

You will most likely receive some kind of error because the admin$ share is inaccessible, either completely or because of the credentials used. Please follow this kb for prerequisites for deploying Agents:

Thank you for your help mmcgary.

Problem was Windows Firewall, now deployment runs.

But there is a strange thing: I get an error "Failed to access remote system registry, system error: The network path was not found", but in fact deployment ends succesfully and I can manage agent without problems. Will I have problems with that?

Thank you

No that is a common error during successful deployment believe it or not. I don't know why exactly since the remote registry service is indeed required.

Thank you very much

What exactly was the "firewall problem"?

I turned the remote registry service from disabled to manual and that cleared the remote registry error.

 Mine is now saying: start service failed, system error: overlapped i/o operation is in progress

And I still can't deploy the agent.

Thanks

Rick

There may be other installer running at the time, like Windows update, or maybe the agent is actually installing.  You would need to see event logs from the system to determine what is going on.
