There are a few target computer pre-requisites that must be met in order for the Deployment Tool to communicate with them. The PC-Duo Deployment Tool can be used to install or uninstall PC-Duo software (usually PC-Duo Host) on target computers that meet the following requirements:
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) must be installed and the service must be running.
Microsoft Windows Networking must be installed and enabled.
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) must be enabled on target computers (i.e. standard administrative shares IPC$ and ADMIN$ must be accessible).
Your target computers must support authentication of remote users. On computers that are not members of the domain, there is a local security policy that may prevent this. See “Sharing and security requirements for Windows” below for more information.
For sharing and security requirements follow this procedure to set up a sharing and security policy for local accounts:
Select Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy.
Under Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts, set the value to Classic - local users authenticate as themselves.
