Protect Computer Wizard (Push) to WinXP from Sophos SEC console does not work!

I have read a number of Sophos support articles and I am stumped.  I am attempting to use the "Protect computers wizard" to protect some Windows XP clients, but it does not work. 

The unmanged comptuers show in the console, the wizard runs, valid administrator credentials are supplied but absolutly nothing happens.

As best I can tell from the client side the following services must be running:

  1. Task Scheduler
  2. Remote Registry Service

Everything looks good from the client side, but it's as if the server never even tries to connect.  The clients remain grayed out (unmanged in the console)

How I debug what is wrong?

  • Could the Windows XP firewall be blocking file and printer sharing?

    When you say the server is not connecting, is that when performing the test from the server of:

    \\<XPClient>\
    Does this show anything?

    Can you open up regedit on the server and connect to the remote client's registry?
