Automatic Provisioning failures... Agent already installed
Can anyone help me understand why these are failing if the agent is already installed? Shouldn't it stop trying to deploy to these machines (we're getting this on 50+ systems in various offices of ours).

Use the agent updates and do it that way

Yeah, we've got that enabled already. - j.hough_FNP 10 years ago
Reboot and retry. Seen this many times that the provisioning fails after some time.
I suggest to use GPO for _INITIAL_ installation and update the outdated agents like SMAL suggested.

The automatic provisioning just attempts to install on everything. It doesn't care if it tried and succeeded last week, it just keeps trying. So these 50+ are machines that it actually installed the agent on during a previous run (or maybe you did it manually), but it tries again anyway. It doesn't really hurt anything, and in my experience can basically be ignored. Does that answer your question?

Sorta, yes... lol. We're just on our initial deployment of the agents and the kace appliance. Just trying to make sure that all the agents have been to deployed to all the machines we have and that these aren't failing for other reasons. - j.hough_FNP 10 years ago
