I've got an NT Endpoint (v105) that is a member server but I can't distribute any software to it. If I run the 'wadminep <ep_name> view_version' command from either the TMR or the Managed Node/ Gateway the Endpoint logs into this is what I get:

Performing browse mode 'view_version' on endpoint '<ep_name>'
EXCEPTION
Data was not received because the connection was reset by the peer.
ipc_recv failed: connection reset by peer 192.167.8.51+9495.

I've tried various things such as removing/ re-installing the Endpoint and even rebuilding the server to base OS but we still get the same error. I've tried various things people have used in the past on the tme10 list, checked the tmersrvd account both in the domain and on the local box and everything looks as it should. I can run the same command on other boxes in the same domain fine so I'm stumped as to why this one is giving us so much grief.

Check that the 'KBDUS.DLL' file exists in the '\winnt\system32' directory

The default permissions for this directory are Everyone Change(RWXD). When you install an Endpoint tmersrvd Read(RX) is added to this so check these are set correctly.

In this particular case it turned out that the '\WINNT\System32' directory on the Endpoint only had the following permissions set:

SYSTEM                          Full Control
<local_box>\Administrators      Full Control
<local_box>\Users               Change

By adding:

Everyone                        Read
<local_box>\tmersrvd            Read

solved the problem.
