If the createNode command fails, it
might be because of the syntax or a connectivity issue.
Review the possible causes and resolutions to help you recover.
Windows 7 and Windows 8
You are able to run the
tacmd
addBundles command for the Windows OS agent, but when you
try to deploy the agent with
tacmd createNode on
the Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers, the command
fails.
- Cause
- The problem is related to being able to connect to the endpoint.
- Solution
- Enable Remote Registry:
- Click .
- Double-click "Remote Registry" (or right-click it and select Properties).
- In the General tab, set Startup
type to Automatic and click OK.
- Disable password protected sharing:
- Click .
- In "Password protected sharing" area, select the Turn
off password protect sharing radio button and click Save
changes.
- If you have a domain user account, ensure that the local and
the target machine are both members of a Windows domain.
- If you are a member of a local administrators group and you use
a local user account, complete the following steps on the local computer
to enable administrative tasks on the target computer:
- Click .
- Expand
- To enable the built-in Administrator account for connecting to
the target computer, double-click "Accounts: Administrator account
status" and select the Enabled radio button.

Windows OS
agent from a UNIX or Linux host when using the "-d" option
and "\" as the path separator
- Cause
- Because tacmd on UNIX and Linux is a wrapper script for
the createNode command, the character "\" is removed from the command.
- Solution
- Specify the path with the "-d" option using either "/" or "\\\\"
when you deploy a Windows OS
agent from a UNIX/Linux host. The following examples display the correct
usage to install the Windows OS
agent in the path C:\ITM63\WIN\OSAgent:
- c:\\\\ITM63\\\\Win\\\\OSAgent
- C:/ITM63/Win/OSAgent
