Resolution
Change the Deployment Service to run under the localsystem account. If the Deployment Service will not start, perform the following.
- Open a Command Prompt on the Deployment Service server.
- Navigate to the following directory:
Program Files/Netiq/AppManager/Control Center/Bin/ - Execute the following command:
deploymentservice /?
This will provide 2 options for the Deployment Service's impersonated authentication, Windows and SQL. Choose which option conforms best to your security policy, and from the same command prompt, perform the appropriate following command:
For Windows Authentication:
deploymentservice -setwindowsauth domain\user password
For SQL Authentication:
deploymentservice -setsqlauth username password
Once this has been completed, the Deployment Service should start normally, and Deployment Tasks should no longer fail with the above described error.
