I attempted to install FMS 13 on Windows 2008. Deployment Assistant shows the deployment progress stops at stage 5 update mDNS service info (succeeded) but after that the deployment died. It had happened for a number of times. I could log in FMS and all the files were shown published, but could not be opened from client. Where does it go wrong? I need your help.

Hi,

Can you verify following,

1. Check if Windows server 2008 firewall is turned off to avoid any blocking at setup
2. If server has any Anti Virus program running and if it has it own firewall that is blocking the process.
3. Most Importantly if the setup has installed ARR successfully locally and if not then you can do that manually by downloading it from web or the set up has the file you can look into.

Please make sure that these things are in place and IIS can render the admin console page at http://localhost:16000/admin-console, here I am presuming that you have successfully installed the database server.

All the best.

Also make sure you are running 2008 R2 SP1
