I have been trying to configure the agentless nodes and everything seems straight forward but everytime I test or try to discover the host it errors out. The error I get is below
Check Remote Host state Failed.
Failed to test Remote Host SERVER
The CONTROL-M/Agent services should be run under the 'This Account' Log On option. Currently it is 'Local System Account'.
Error CTM6893 HOSTMAP_PLUGIN
The account that is used for the job is a Domain account that has local admin rights on the remote host. I did change the service account of the agent to a domain admin account, but this did not resolve my issue and according to BMC it does not need to be changed.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

The sysout folder is shared with full access. I have placed it both on the remote host and the agent server, with the same results.accessible sysout directorie ?
owner authentification settings ?
On the screen where you choose SSH or WMI and the Sysout directory, there is a Test button. When I click Test, it fails with the same error listed in the original post.
Owner authentication settings are configured with the account that has access on the remote host. Even before I get to this point part of the validation fails. I am stump as to what it could be.
I did put a domain admin account as the 'Log on' account for the service it seemed to fix the first error, but aftward it says I have to change the account on the Control-M server service. According to BMC, this should not have to be done.

come to find out, the agent has to be running as a domain account. I could not find that anywhere in the configuration to agentless. I thought I had tried that, but apparently even though the agent you are configuring says local it is actually the one on the control-m server server. Let me explain: We have 2 control-m servers, 1 is the EM and configuration Manager, the second is teh Control-M server. I was configuring the remote host on the EM server which has an agent running, and when it said <Local> it was actually referring to the Control-M server agent on the second server. That agent had to have a domain account assigned to it and not the one on the first server.
