Failed to install AppAware required software

Hello.

I’m stuck in the remote software installation required to enable the AppAware backup for Active Directory.

I’ve already read the following post:
Failed to install Base Package 
Failed to install File System Core Package
But my problem seems like a kind of union of the two.

I followd the above thread suggestions and I can confirm that
1. The Commserve is a Windows machine
2. The communication between the Commserve and the DCs is fully opened.
3. The WMI connection test has succeded. I can connect the the DCs with the wbemtest tool

WMi test


The installation fails with the generic error “Install Software Failed Source: srvbkcv01, Process: DistributeSoftware”. It doesn’t give information about the error source.

Here are the Distributesoftware.log logs:

Have you got any suggestions?

P.S. I’ve also opened a support case but I thought it could be helpful to create a community thread for those who might encounter my same problem.

Thanks.

Appreciate you sharing with us, @alfpcs !

You’re right, there’s not much in this log so the failure is likely elsewhere.  My next step would be to check the install logs on the client side.  It does seem like the install was initiated from the Commserve’s perspective but failed at some point.

Can you share the case number so I can track that as well?

Thanks!

Hello @Mike Struening and thanks for your time.

I had a remote session call with the support and eventually we managed to solve this issue. It turned out that this was a software glitch.

Basically the software was installed in the client machine but the Commserve didn’t receive the acknowledgmenet thus it marked the installation as failed.

We restarted the services on the Client machine for Commvault agent and then refreshed the CS console and it appeared inside the client computers section.

BTW the case number is 221007-233.
