Title: Deployment fails on Vista and Windows 7 clients
Post by: joshmo on February 08, 2011, 09:59:58 PM

I have a somewhat new Avast SBS Suite installation I'm trying to get working, but I have run into several problems. I will post each topic separately. The first problem is that trying to run deployment on Vista and Windows 7 workstations that have previously had the free version of Avast installed fails with the "Access is denied" error. They are all on the domain and the login used to deploy is a system administrator account. Windows Firewall is not turned on for any of these machines due to problems with other applications on the network, so the ports shouldn't be a problem.

I read the support page about a registry edit, and even tried that on one machine but the deployment still fails. I'm also not excited about having to edit registries on all my current and future workstations.

I would prefer to use deployment instead of MSI (that's a separate problem I'm also going to post), but just wondering if the hassles and workarounds required to make it run on Vista and Win7 are too much. I never had a problem installing the free client on these machines.

Hi Shannon,

I have similar issues. Have you found a solution to this?

before do the push install on vista or 7, please try the "net use s: \\<host IP Address>\c$" let's see what is error msg.

Are homegroup settings set to allow sharing?
