Problem "The RPC server is unavailable"

[Guest Jeff]

Hey

 

I'm using an win2k3 machine and are trying to install a Remote Agent for

BackupExec 10d to the another win2k3 machine in my network. I do this

installation process from the BackupExec program on my win2k3 machine. But

the installation process is halted after selecting the remote computer. I

get an "The RPC server is unavailable" error

 

This services are running on the remote computer:

- Remote Procedure Call (RPC)

- Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator

 

I've read on the net about workareounds involving copying the installation

files to the remote agent and manually do the installation there. I've tryed

this. Executed the installation file etc... but nothing happend... So that's

why I really would like to perform this installation as it is should be - by

using BackExec ...

 

So any ideas on how to fix the "The RPC server is unavailable" error is

greatly appreaciated!
