Resolution
Enable Secondary Logon Service and Remote Registry Service options for the target agent machines.
Cause
Microsoft Windows 2003 provides options for "logon as secondary user" and "remote registry service". These services enable AppManager to start our installation processes under alternate credentials. If these options are disabled on the local machine or via a Group Policy, this type of logon access will be unavailable and the installation will fail with various error messages.
