A few different errors when attempting to run some patching on remote machines

Hey Brad – I’m sorry to hear that you’re encountering such difficulties.

Error 1611: -106. Failure is prob the most complicated to troubleshoot/solve error. Please see here for more:

Error 1611: 5. Failure 5 generally means ‘Access Denied’ which is always related to permissions in some way or another. What’s strange here is where the 5 appears. Most ‘Access Denied’ errors do not occur with 1611. In this case I suspect it’s related to PsExec not having the permissions it needs on the target computer. Probably psexesvc is being blocked from running. Sometimes changing the psexec remote service name can fix this. In your case I know you have already done that, based on the forum thread that you started the other day (‘Tools > Settins > Remote execution > Use psexec -r’), so I would start by doublechecking that but also see if the issue is still related to psexec not being able to do what it needs.

Error 1601: Failed to retrieve WMI info. The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)

Call was canceled by the message filter. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010002 (RPC_E_CALL_CANCELED)

RPC issues are usually related to firewall blocking or to inaccurate DNS or to the machine simply not existing on the network. More:

Error 1603: Initialization Failure. HRESULT -2146233080: Index was outside the bounds of the array. This would likely mean that something is broken with WMI on the target computer. I would start by trying ‘Actions > Get info > Get last boot time’ and ‘Actions > Get info > Get MAC address’ because both of these actions use only a WMI query. See if these actions are successful. If not then you know you probably have an issue with WMI on the target. Reboot the target and try again. If still the same issue then have a look at Microsoft’s WMI troubleshooting article here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394603%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

Error 1611: 59. Failure translates to

ERROR_UNEXP_NET_ERR

59 (0x3B)

An unexpected network error occurred.

This is probably a transient error. You are correct that this might have occurred as the result of the target user going offline during the operation, especially considering that it did not happen until after the downloading had already begun.
