When I run this tool to deploy linux client,

if the os is windows server 2003 sp1,it’s OK;

if the os is windows 7,it’s ok;

but the os is windows server 2008,it encounters a problem that I can’t run this tool.

Can someone give some help ?Thank you.And I want to know the requirements of using this tool.

It sounds like you are using the Windows Tool. Make sure you are using the Unix, Mac, Linux tool.

I’m sure I use the linux client deploy client.I mean that this tool can be run at windows server 2003 and windows 7 but can’t be run at windows server 2008.And this tool can be used at any computer not tem server?

There are 2 separate client deploy tools.

One is made for Windows. One, as Tim mentioned, is made for *NIX and Mac. If you are deploying to Windows, you need to use the Windows tool. It should be able to deploy to any windows systems. I sent some links that would have the requirements and common troubleshooting steps if you can’t deploy to some systems.

As you have mentioned,the two client deploy tools:

one,for windows:I use the third way(the lists of computer) and input the correct user and password,it comes a problem that prompts “windows error:wrong user or password”

and the other one,for *nix and mac:I have tested at windows server 2003 it runs OK,windows 7 it runs OK but at windows server 2008 it can be installed but can’t be run.

I see. My mistake. You want to run it on Windows not install Windows agents. Here is a forum post that discusses some of the requirements.
