I re-ghosted the client pc. And this time I logged in as the same user that
is on the server. Then I installed the client software (using \\<server
name\DTMInstall\Client\Setup.exe). Then on the server I opened Studio and it
showed the client pc this time. It would not let me Reset the Status of the
client pc (it was complaining the last Heartbeat was over 30 min ago). So I
deleted the client from Studio, Rebooted the server, Started Studio and after
a few minutes it found the client again and this time I was able to Reset the
Status and run my tests.
I'm not sure why it worked this time and not the first time. I suspect it
was because of using usera on the server and userb on the client. Even
though usera & userb are members of the administrators group.
Thanks for your help.
