Tasks not running in DCM

Hi,

I have recently setup DCM 3.0.2 and have succesfully managed to get the product to do the following:

Install in a Virtual 2003 environment
Succesfully discovered machines on the domain
Installed the Altiris client to a few test machines.
Discovered Dell clients and pushed the Dell Client manager agent (the count now shows 0 machines without the Dell client manager Agent)

The problem now however is i am unable to run any Hardware management task on any of the machines. The error returned when the task hasn't run is 'Timed out waiting for the task server to process this task'

When i look on the client machines it details the following in the log files '  <![CDATA[CTaskServerNetCommsConnection::CheckResponseXml(): The task server returned an error: <![CDATA[System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:50121

I have restarted the server, checked the account permissions, checked local firewall / AV settings all to no avail

Anyone got any ideas on this?

Are you using a proxy?

See if the information in Altiris KB45715 helps. I've uses it even when the environment differed from the article.
