The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden
Can anyone provide advice on how I can resolve the following errors on my distribution server that is preventing Agents from connecting to it:
Distribution Server Connectivity Info :
DistributionLastAccessName,
#SERVER-NAME#, 8021, http, Failed, The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
DistributionServerName,
#SERVER-NAME#, 8021, http, Failed, The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
DistributionServerIPAddress,
#SERVER-IP#, 8021, http, Failed, The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
DistributionServerFlatName,
#SERVER-IP#, 8021, http, Failed, The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
DistributionServerSecIPAddress,
#SERVER-NAME#, 8021, http, Failed, The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
TCP Port 8021 is unblocked in the windows firewall.
I have got a support case open however its taking frustratingly long for someone to get back to me today and so I thought I would ask here in the hope that somebody might be able to provide some useful information or advice.
I have looked at the following article in the knowledge base -
https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/desktop-central-server-not-reachable.html
The distribution server itself appears with a green status in the Desktop Central console itself and receives the replication requests. I can also see that it has downloaded software from the main Desktop Central.
Many Thanks,
Richard
