We have just installed Symantec Endpoint Protection on a 2008 Small Business Server. When we try to push the installation out, we get to the Point where to "Add Computers". No matter what computer I choose, I'm not allowed to connect. We followed the link in the error-message and we have verified that we have remote access and that the firewall lets the application through. But none the less - I'm not allowed to connect. Also tried a few solutions from the forum, but none has helped. The client can speak to the server without any troubles what I can see. If I create a manual package and runs it on the client , it works fine! Any clues? :(

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Symantec community.

Could you please attach the screenshot?

Does it ask for user-name and password when you tries to add computer? If yes make sure to provide admin credentials.

If able to add computer successfully but package is not getting deployed then need to refer the following articles.
