Communication failed between target machine and central server

Problem

During imaging/deployment, the target machine is unable to communicate with the Central Server.

Cause

• The target machine does not have a valid IP Address.
• The network on which the target machine is connected might have blocked the Central Server.

Resolution

To resolve this problem, follow the step-by-step process given below:

1. Ensure that a valid IP is assigned to the target machine
   • Go to command prompt.
   • Execute the following command: ipconfig /all
   • Under Ethernet adapter, check if a valid IP address (IPv4 Address) is assigned. A valid IP will have the preferred tag with it.
2. The network on which the target machine is connected might have blocked the Central Server.
   • Check whether the target machine is connected to the internet.
   • Whitelist the domains listed in your network
