Cause

This issue is seen when Prerequisites are not met.

Resolution

USM Robot deployment with an XML file is not supported when the source system and target systems are not on the same domain.

See "Verify Prerequisites" section in the Bulk Robot Deployment with an XML File

Robots for Windows systems must be deployed from Hubs running Windows. The source system and target systems must also be in the same Windows domain, unless the target systems are in the default Windows domain workgroup.
