Hi Dan,
Thanks again for helping me out here.
I configured the Local Sec Policy as per the manual already. The problem was that the Remote Registry service was not running on the server. When I enabled that, the LSH config went through fine. Now I am getting a different error when trying to install the update on a client (same error on XP and 7 clients):
09:52:30 NwSapFeiDs 1 Service installation (first try)
09:52:30 NwSapFeiUt 1E MakeUserLocalAdmin: Failed to lookup group account. Error message: The RPC server is unavailable. Error code 0x000006ba (1722).
09:52:30 NwSapFeiDs 1E Could not make the user for IS a local admin.
09:52:30 NwSapFeiDs 1 Service installation (second try)
09:52:30 NwSapFeiUt 1E MakeUserLocalAdmin: Failed to lookup group account. Error message: The RPC server is unavailable. Error code 0x000006ba (1722).
09:52:30 NwSapFeiDs 1E Could not make the user for IS a local admin.
09:52:30 NwSapFeiDs 1E Remote service installation failed.
09:52:30 NwSapFeiUt 1 Successfully sent message:
ERROR _SERVICE_INSTALL_FAILED_
09:52:30 NwSapFeiDs 1 DONE with remote installation
I have tried:
Disabling firewall on server and client
Ensuring remote registry, remote procedure call, and rpc locator service are running on both server and client
Recreating share
Rebooting server and client
Restarting LSH service
Ensuring LSH account is admin on both server and client
Out of ideas now!
Cheers,
James
