Hello David,

This error usually occurs when the remote registry service is not started on
the target machine. Just go into the service and start the Remote Registry
service, then try the installation again. See
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/244066.htm

Alternatively you take the Backup Exec CD to the machine where you wish to
install the Remote Agent and perform local install a.k.a Silent Install by
executing the bactch file setupaa.cmd located in NTAA folder on the CD. See
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/190567.htm

I hope this helps
