SMS clients – “Unable to start service “ccmsetup” on machine “xxxxx”, error = 1053″

Problem : SMS clients – “Unable to start service “ccmsetup” on machine “xxxxx”, error = 1053″

I am trying to remotely install/repair advanced clients using the SMS console.  In the ccm.log file I get the message:
“Unable to start service “ccmsetup” on machine ‘xxxxx’, error=1053″
“Failed to install CCM Client Bootstrap component on client (1053)”.

I do not have trouble installing clients normally using ccmsetup.exe, the advanced clients work fine, they can be seen in the console and can be deployed to without any problems.

I would like to install and repair the client from the console so any help in sorting out this error message would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Hi itenginerd

Many thanks for your reply, sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Your suggestions were very helpful and really appreciated.  I also checked the Client Push Installation account.  As I inherited this system, I wasn’t sure about the account being used, so I created another account in its place and since then I haven’t seen any more 1053 errors.  I will keep monitoring this just to make sure this has solved the problem and let you know.

Regards,
