New setup - cant deploy to users - installation could not be started

Hi guys

OK i have installed

Enterprise Console 5 on a server 2008 machine.

I had problems with the database at first and it wouldnt load the interface.  Followed steps online and after lots of messing around I managed to load the console succesfully.

I have managed to protect the server it is already on OK

However, this is a new domain with new antivirus - I can see the 1st workstation i have setup when I do a scan via active directory.  But when I try to protect the computer after a while I get:

Installation could not be started 0x0000002e

Ive done the usual google searches and cant get it to work.

The workstation I am trying to protect is windows 7 64bit.

I have tried to follow the below:

I think I have done it correctly 

Firewall rules and services seem to be correct.

Are there any tests I can do to see what I have missed?

when i do protect computer the administrator password is accepted but then at the end i get the error

Can it be to do with a problem connecting to the database still? If i right click the problem computer in sophos to view computer details i get the error "cannot open database sophos51.  Login failed for user sophosm (which is what the account is in active directory)

Any help appreciated, I did try to follow the setup steps but what they dont seem to match with what I have on screen

thanks!

    i just browsed to the setup file from the end user pc to the sophos server and ran setup, entering my sophos username and password to get the updates (not sophosm active directory account)

    i can view log file and it says

    could not connect to the server - check that the computer is connected to the network and that sophos autoupdate is configured to update from the correct location with the correct credentials.... 

    :(
