Symptoms
If there is a firewall between Deployment manager admin server and database server, you may see the following error through system event viewer:
DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer {databse server name} using any of the configured protocols.
Cause
Deployment manager makes use of DCOM to communicate to SQL Server over ADODB. We also use WMI to check that the SQL Server is up and running.
Resolution
The firewall needs to be configured to allow DCOM through.
