0000003a - Installation involves creating a scheduled task on the computer. Windows 7

Hi I have just sucessfully deployed 5 Win 7 PC's remotely using SCC 4.0.

I now have one PC that is returning this message.

'0000003a - Installation involves creating a scheduled task on the computer. Access was denied when creating this task. The default admin share (called C$) may not be accessible or a required service may not be running.'

I have done as suggested in this link on the KB but no joy. Used several domain accuonts and even the domain admin accounts and that still does not work

Any ideas anyone?

C$ admin share is there and I am using the same domain admin account to deploy from SCC

Thanks

Andy

  • I have got these messages on 2 of 10 my computers (XP SP3) when reinstalling sophos from SCC on (W2k3) using the domain admin account, after reading the posts above, I used explorer on the W2k3 to browse to the task folder  \\computername\C$\WINDOWS\Tasks and found that the Sophos task 'Sophos_isntTask" was actually created and set to run, but the admin account password for some reason was left blank. So I filled in the admin account password manually (the other 8 PCs had no such problem), and ran the task manually. This fixed the problem and both PCs are now registerd and controled by SCC.
