Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management

Situation

ERROR: "Failed to bind to web service " after startup on some devices.

Resolution

Stopping and restarting the ZENworks agent should correct the problem for a given session. 

Status

Reported to Engineering

Additional Information

This error can be caused by a problem where the managed agent firewall handler can't open the agent port 7628 due to timeout of WMI service.  This error does not indicate a problem receiving bundles, logging in etc.  It is specific to a failure in the quick task service (remotely refreshing the agent, for example).
