Issue/Introduction
The customer is trying to push the Symantec Management Agent (aka Altiris Agent) but in the Install Agent page, the machine shows a status saying:
"Failed to logon using the Admin Account: Access to the network resource was denied"
If the customer tries to push using short name, FQDN and it fails with the message "Failed to logon using the Admin Account: Access to the network resource was denied"
If they push using the machine's IP Address, it works just fine.
When we look at the NS logs, we see messages like these ones:

Environment
ITMS 7.x, 8.x
Cause
The domain being pushed to did not have the trust set up for the AppID (Application Credentials) account.
Resolution
Set up trust for the AppID account in the domain or use an account with the proper rights in that domain (under Settings>All Settings>Agents/Plugins>Settings>Agent Install. Click on "Default Settings" or "Install" button and under "Push Install Settings" tab, add the proper account under the "Use the following admin account instead of application credentials" section)
