Failed to verify target Windows machine from a Linux-based NetVault Backup Server

Failed to verify target Windows machine from a Linux-based NetVault Backup Server
Description

When trying to verify a Windows target machine from a Linux-based NetVault server during the creation of a deployment task, the verification fails, even with valid credentials.

Symptom

While verifying the target machines, the following errors displayed:

•
Verification throws the following error message: Could not connect to remote target.
•
After a verification failure, proceeding with the client installation results in a failure with the same error.
Solution

This issue occurs when the kerberos on the Linux Server machines is not properly configured. Check /etc/krb5.conf for a valid default_realm.

This issue also occurs when the kerberos ticket is expired for the user. To renew the ticket, run the following command on the Linux NetVault server:

kinit user@domain.com

Successful execution of the command should result in successful verification for the specified user.
