Client Deploy Tool issue

Hi All,

I started trying out the new client deploy tool wizard and I am having mixed success with it. It seems that if I do a workstation that I know is online, the install goes through with no issue. I did one deployment with 2 workstations and one system was not online and the deployment just hung. I just started another deployment with about 20 systems and 2 are unavailable and now it seems to be hung again.

When I look in the BESClientDeployTool.log, I see the following:

The last entry is now 20 minutes old and there does not appear to be anything happening. I checked a couple of the online systems and I do not see anything occurring there either.

I found this troubleshooting guide http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21505877 but it does not seem to be anything there.

This is on 9.5.8.38.

Thanks

Martin
