Cannot deploy agent after upgrade to 8.8

We recently went from 8.7 sp3 to 8.8 and since doing so, we cannot deploy the agent through the LANdesk console. If you manually run the installer from the client it works, but pushing it fails, on any unmanaged pc. Here is the log file from one of the attempted pushes:

 

[Operation failed] RemoteExecute, cmd /c mkdir C:\$ldcfg$
CBA 8 X509 operation : -2147481845 (8000070b8u) : Unable to contact the remote agent.

To resolve this issue, please follow the steps below:

1) In the Console on the Core Server, open Configure > Services
2) Click on the tab 'Scheduler'
3) Click on 'Change Login'
4) Enter an administrative account that has the rights to access and create the temporary installation folder on the clients.

I don't believe this to be the issue. It is set to use localsystem. In addition to that it has alternate credentials entered for the machines local administrator account. What else could cause this?

The main account should not be localsystem.  Change it and prove me wrong.

It did not work. Changed it to a domain account with administrative rights, and get this:

Re: Cannot deploy agent after upgrade to 8.8

The scheduler absolutly has to be an admin account for deploying agents.  Did you apply sp1 for 8.8?

 

Also,  Manually re-start the scheduler service after changing account.

Restarting the core server did it. Ahh...sometimes LANDesk confuses me. Thanks for the assistance Ty.

Re: Cannot deploy agent after upgrade to 8.8

The scheduler service does not need to be an admin if redeploying agents since it will use the file transfer and remote execute functions of the agent already in place.  Still a good idea to have it set though since often you will redeploying the agent because it doesn't work properly so relying on a faulty agent to redeploy is not a good idea.
