Reboot To, Copy File or other Deployment Solution tasks fail to run

Example:

 

Return code -2147221005
"Failed to execute task"
OS error 2147746291 at line 535

Cause

Recent upgrade of the Symantec Management Platform that included updates to the Deployment Solution Plug-in. DS Plug-in may not be installed or upgraded on the client.  The install and upgrade policies for the Deployment Solution plug-in for Windows may be disabled from the upgrade.

Resolution

Check that the client has the Deployment Solution Plug-in for Windows installed and verify the version is up to date by opening the Symantec Management Agent>Settings, in the Agents/Plug-Ins pane.

If it is not the there or is an older version, check that the SMP server has the appropriate(x86/x64) DS plug-in install policy enabled.  If the plug-in is an older version, enable the upgrade policies.
