KACE: K1000 Unable To Provision New Agent Install

Success with the primary admin account, although upon creating new admin accounts and attempting to provision new machines I am met with the result below.  Any input on why new admin accounts wouldn't be able to provision new agent installs?

  • Have you verified that the new account is an admin on the target machine and can also access the kace share? - chucksteel 9 years ago
  • Thanks for the feedback. I made that adjustment on the target machine and it was successful. Ran it on a separate machine to check for consistency without making myself admin locally and it still provisioned. It would appear KACE has a mind of it's own at times. - slypig86 9 years ago
  • Are you using a local admin account on the machine to do this? If so, is it possible to create a provisioning schedule with a range of IP's, and instruct it to use local admin?

    I don't see how as you have to specify the domain, and if you fill in the domain and type admin for the user name it will use domain admin instead of local admin. If I want to do it local do I need to make a single provisioning schedule for each machine? - edwimb 9 years ago
  • I just tested this. If you leave the domain field populated it fails. If you delete the domain field, and are lucky enough to have an environment where all of your machines that need an agent have the same local admin name and password like me, you can create a provisioning schedule for a range of IP's. Just use administrator for the username, the local administrator password for password, and leave the domain field blank.

    I'm able to uninstall/reinstall agents at will doing this, with UAC enabled. The only thing wrong is the status of the machines I do this with in KACE shows as "Unable to reach this agent managed-device". I assume this is because I left the domain field blank, but I'm not sure. I don't know if this is a solution or not yet. - edwimb 9 years ago
