Also.  This install is part of a dual boot installation.

It seems that this push is trying to access the admin share?  In this case, I have three admin shares - c$, e$ and f$ - f$ is where the sbs 2003 install resides.

not sure if this matters but just in case.

and ... no matter what i enter in the auth box i get that same message.  its like it's not even verifying the creds.

Hi Olstaff,

Please find this document yest C$ should have access

Found this.  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938120  this article was referenced in a MS post by a Symantec SBE 12 tech.  He had this same problem.

This is more what the issue seems to be.

What I don't get here is from my XP client, when I use Start\Run and try to browse to the admin shares on the server via \\servername\e$ i get the same error reference here.  but if i enter \\192.168.16.2\e$ i get in after supplying credentials.

Not sure why this is.

Odd thing here

else what you can do instaed is just copy the exe and run it on the machine locally , it will install SEP and also the client will be managed.
Even you can share the exe and run it locally
