Unfortunately this is a problem again. I have reset the enterprise service on both the server and the endpoint. The machine still shows as grayed out in Computer Management... I have even tried re-installing SmartDeploy on the endpoint.
Is the SmartDeploy service supposed to be eternally "Starting"? No matter what I have tried, re-installing, manually restarting the service, etc. I cannot get it to a state of "Running", it is always starting. Is that normal? Does this service have any impact on cloud deployments?
Not only that but anytime SmartDeploy installs the client on the endpoint automatically (during cloning) so that it will appear in computer management, that install of SmartDeploy always seems to leave the SmartDeploy service stopped. I have a script I've prepared just in case that will install and then configure that service to at least automatically start on boot and then start it after install. Is that intended behavior or another bug?
