Hi, Is it the discovery wizard you are running? Check and see if there is a firewall on the target machine or a antivirus blocking the traffic? -- Anders BengtssonMicrosoft MVP - Ops Mgrwww.contoso.se "Gady Elkarif" wrote in message news:c8886ae9-abc1-4d7 6-bdd1-7fbd6514b5d5...Hi,I'm trying to install agent on Windows Server machine using agent install wizard of Operation Manager.

This error can be caused by not having the DCom Enabled on the machine that you are trying to push the client to. To resolve this:'Start' -> 'Control Panel' -> 'Administrative Tools' -> 'Component Services' -> Expand 'Component Services' -> Expand 'Computers' -> Right Click 'My Computer' -> Click 'Default Properties' Tab -> Check 'Enabled Distributed COM on this computer', ensure'Default Authentication Level' is set to 'Connect' and'Default Impersonation Level' is set to 'Identify'-> Click 'OK'After this is enabled - Reboot the computer for the settings to take effect. Best of Luck!Tim
