Hi!

I'm newbie here, and i don't speak well english, sorry for that.

May I ask that ESM can handle the free CIS application, or I have to buy the commercial CIS pro software?
(We are thinking about the change of our security product.)

ESM will allow you to handle, completely FREE, up to 3 PCs.
If you need to handle more PCs with ESM v2.0, you can purchase here directly from COMODO.

For now, their pricing is unbeatable.

Thanks a lot!
We tried the product (ESM). It's very likely that we select it. I work in a hospital, we monitoring  100 machines. It's very comfortable to manage from our office. But there's a little problem:

I always get the "deployment error" message: cannot access target computer. When i manually install AgentSetup.exe onto the machines, i can see them on the dashboard, also can install CIS.

On the target machine:

• Windows Firewall is turned off
• IP is correct, i can acces it via RealVNC
• File sharing enabled
• In Win registry: forcedguest=0

The error message last line:   status_bad_admin_netpath(53)

What can i do to get it work?

Hi Shan,

It's very pleasant to get your feedback. I can recommend you a simple test to check if there everything is okay with network security settings on the target computer. From machine where ESM server runs try to open the following address in Windows explorer: \\targetendpoint\admin$

If network setings are OK then there should be no problems with deployment, otherwise some configuration was not set and the target OS does not allow ESM server to access remote share using the specified credentials.

Please tell us here test results.

P.S. By "targetendpoint" in the test address I meant actual target macnine's name.

Do you also need the service 'Remote Registry' in a running state for this?

[Tim B.]

It's only a remote share access test, there is no need to access target registry remoptely.

[shan77]

THx for reply, i tried it.
It is waiting for a password, for the guest user...

So ESM couldn't access the machine, i guess...

Can you try the following command on a command-box:

Code:

net use * \\<servername>\c$ /user:DOMAIN\Administrator

If that works it will ask for the domain admins password and it should connect a free drive letter.
You can disconnect the mapping by typing

Code:

net use <driveletter> /del

replace <driveletter> with the letter it assigned on the previous command.

[Tim B.]

Only guest user? Have you tried to specify any target's user with admin privilegies?

[shan77]

I tried it, with these parameters:
net use * \\mp92\c$ /user:192.168.1.92\shan
(shan user as administrator)

It worked. I've got the entire C drive of target pc mapped as Y on my pc. But ESM Can not acces (sorry: deploy, and update CIS)

Another problem: under packages (before "deployment progress") CIS disappeared. I only got ESM Agent 2.0

Updated: I've installed ESM to a virgin pc, without the license typed in, and I've got 2 packages now...Agent, and CIS!  Now I daren't to set the license...

Update 2: ESM is unable to deploy Agent  (error code: 1222)
               I installed agent in offline mode, then everything worked fine (CIS install, update)
               The mapping command is working on every Pc-s.

Update 2: ESM is unable to deploy Agent  (error code: 1222)

Im having exactly the same issue.
I reported it here this week:
https://forums.comodo.com/endpoint-security-manager-20-business-edition/deployment-error-unknown-error-t80457.0.html;msg576540#msg576540

Is it because of running ESM 2.0 in Windows XP?

[Tim B.]

Shan, what about accessing \\targetendpoint\admin$ share? Because accessing C:\ drive and admin$ share require quite different privilegies. And ESM uses only admin$ share to access remote PC.
