I'm getting an error when I attempt to remote deploy. What should I do

From Netintelligence Knowledge Base

Common deployment errors are:

• Deployment Failed. Failed to Connect to Machine. Machine Possibly Offline.
• Failed to Connect to Remote Machine. Possible reasons: Machine Offline, No Admin Share or Access Denied.
• Failed to Connect to Remote Registry.

Where remote deployment has failed with one of the above errors, you must check the individual machine involved:

1. Check that the machine is online.
2. Ping the machine by name from the Deployer machine – deployment works using machine name only, not IP.
3. Check that the Client machine's firewall allows the connection, or is switched off during deployment.
4. Check that the user account supplied to the Deployer service has the correct privileges to deploy to the Client machine. This user account must be able:
   1. to access the C$ (admin Share) of the Client machine, and to copy files.
   2. to access Remote Registry and to create registry keys.
   3. to access Remote Services and to create services.
5. Check that the Remote Registry Service is running on the Client machine.
