Deployment Console on Windows 7

Nodgiles's picture

Im recieving an authentication error when trying to install a deployment console on a windows7 box. I have 3 technicians that need consoles deployed to their machines so that they can distribute tasks.

When trying to install the console on a remote workstation I get the following errors:

When using a domain adminstrator account to deploy the console I get an error message stating "Please make sure that the username and password you supplkied has Administrator rights on the remote machine."

When using a local administrator account to deploy the console I get an error message stating: "Error authenticating user local\user on %computername%. Please check your username and password before continuing. You may already be connected to the computer with another user name or password.

Anyone have success in deploying a console to a windows7 machine?

I received the same error

I received the same error when I tried to push it to remote Windows 7 boxes.  What I ended up having to do was on the machine navigate to the DSSETUP folder on the server, run the dssetup on the machine, selecting just the console portion and setting the path of the DS install to the location of the express share.  Kinda a pain, but now my technicians have the console.

Great thanks! That worked

Great thanks! That worked like a charm. I have a ticket open with Altiris for 2 weeks already and they cant even give me a solution. Cant believe it was that simple.....
