Hi,Only SCE SP1 support Windows server 2008 R2. Check out following link:http://blogs.technet.com/systemcenteressentials/HTH. Jie-Feng Ren - MSFT Hi,We already have SCE 2007 SP1. I upgraded WSUS 3.0 to SP2 and tried re-deploying the agent and get the same error

Hello Paulm187, Can you ping the client by name from the SCE server? Is the remote registry service enabled on the client? Also, on the client, make sure you can access the shared folder on the SCE server which contained the agent installation files. To manually install the agent, make sure the following ports are opened on the client if there is any firewall on it: TCP 135 for remote assistance TCP 445 139 and UDP 137 138 for agent installtion Thanks,Yog Li - MSFT

Hello Paulm187, Is there any updated information on this issue?Thanks,Yog Li - MSFT

Hi, I read this article earlier when I was trying to find a solution for the problem. But I wasn't sure if it would apply to my issue so didn't want to install the hotfix. However, now I will download and apply it and let you know the results. Thanks

Hi,I installed the hotfix on all my domain controllers and tried to push the agent again and it failed.Then I tried manualy installing the agent and it worked!Thanks for your help!
