Remote Task Server can't manage clients.
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 3 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
I have 3 remote task servers and never have had an issue until now.
I've installed the Task Server and approved the server.
Can't get the remote task server registered to manage clients.
In the config were you assign collections to a task server, the remote task server is "pending".
The collection "Task Server using IIS" is empty.
This task server is running IIS because it was a former NS server, that is no longer managing and clients.
Somehow IIS was not discovered during the installation.
In client logs, I see where it is attempting to register with the hostname and IP address.

Do you use a proxy? https://kb.altiris.com/article.asp?article=41982&p=1

1st Rule of Connect Club: Mark the post that helped you the most as a 'solution'. 2nd Rule of Connect Club:You must talk about Connect club.
The clients are not using a proxy setting.
I'm sure the issue isn't with the clients but with the Remote task server.
Here is a sample log entry from the taskmanagement.log

Issue fix, install the server agent on a different server.
