Remote Client Install Error "Failed to install: \\XC2098 (50): Service: Error opening Service Manager"

Ghost Solution Suite
Issue/Introduction
Cause
The reason for the error is because there are identical users and passwords on both Console and Client machines that are joined to a Domain. This causes a credentials conflict when trying to install the Client across the network. This is considered a Security feature or design by Microsoft. You should also get this error if you try to use the computer management mmc plug-in to remotely connect to the Client from your Console machine.
Resolution
The solution is to create a new Local Administrator Account on the Console machine, then log into the Console machine with that new account and then you will be able to complete the Remote Client Install.
