There are four conditions to be met so that the automatic deployment will work:
- The simple file sharing should be disabled in order to allow administrative accounts to remote in. In order to check this condition please go to Control Panel and double click on Folder Options. Once the Folder Options window is open go to the View tab and search for Use simple file sharing (it should be the last option in the list); make sure to disable it;
- Make sure that the Server service is started and the Printer Sharing protocol enabled;
- Firewalls at the station level should either be disabled or configured in such manner to allow File and Printer Sharing. In order to disable Windows Firewall you need to go to Control Panel, double click on Windows Firewall and set it to Off. Alternatively you can go to the Exceptions tab and make sure that File and printer sharing is enabled. In a domain environment make sure there is no group or domain policy that enforces the windows firewall to an enabled state.
- Use password-enabled user accounts. For security reasons, Windows denies remote access to user accounts without password.
- Ping the respective network station;
- Try to log in on the administrative share \\computer_name\admin$;
- For Windows Vista, the application runs elevated.
