Deploy Fails to Computer Name but works with IP

Last night I was testing to my two VMs, making sure my packages were working. Everything was deploying fine. This morning I restored to a previous snapshot and now everytime I deploy to the computer name I get the following error:

Not Found - Failed to create target direct

Could not find a part of the path '\DeployTestWin7.hedev.local\ADMIN$\AdminArsenal\PDQDeployRunner\service-2\exec'.

I am able to deploy to the IP address without any problems

Hi Jason,

We have only seen this error a few times and it has been difficult to troubleshoot. It appears to be tied to SMB caching. Until we nail this down I would recommend stopping and starting your background service. Don't restart the service if other deployments are currently running.

To restart the background service go to File > Preferences > Background Service. Click the Stop Deploy Service. After it stops click the Start Deploy Service.

After doing that do you still get the Not Found error?

Hi Jason,

What version of Deploy are you currently experiencing this issue on?

It appears that I resolved the issue by removing and rejoining the domain. Not exactly sure where the problem is occurring but something got out of whack. I did make sure to update to the latest version this morning so I'll pop back in if the problem shows up again.
