Is your ESM installed on a Win 7 or Win 2008 RC2 box? If so, please see if you can manage the target from the Windows msc console. Also please ensure that your ESM host can open admin$ on the target (Start > Run > \target_name\admin$). If it cannot please enable file and printer sharing on the target.
CESM is on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit server
Target Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
I can open Computer Management on the CESM server, and remotely manage the TargetComputer
I can access \TargetComputer\Admin$
File and Print Sharing is enabled on the target
ok, so server to client seems fine let’s see what happens from client to server.
Please stop the ESM server service, enter the server’s IP address in the Configuration Tool under “Main Settings” - “Server Addresses”, restart the ESM server service.
Can you telnet to server_name port 9901 and/or server_IP port 9901 from the target to the server?

So I checked the services and Windows Remote Management (WS-Management) is set to manual… I started the service and got…
I ended up on the server, going to services → right click on COMODO ESM Server → properties… going to the Log On tab → selecting This account → and inputting the domain administrator information → clicking apply → stopping and restarting the service.
No idea why Local System does not work but this fixed it for me.
