Cannot Connect to local host Code: 5,242,881
Hello,
I have purchased ABR10 Advanced workstation, I have installed it on XPPro SP3.
I prefer to run both the console and the agent on the same PC.
When I start the management console I get a connecting to local host progress bar then and error "Cannot connect to localhost"
Code 5 242 881 (0x500001)
Module c:\program Files\acronis\backupandrecovery\mmc.exe
When this happens i really have no options because the console will not launch. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank's for your help

I have this issue but restarting has no effect. There seems no way of getting any help or console up.
What do I do now?

I also purchased this product and I've encountered the same issues posted here and elsewhere. Unfortunately I didn't have access to this forum before purchasing the product so I wasn't aware that this issue has been so prevalent and that Acronis apparently doesn't know how to get this fixed or doesn't care. For $1,200 I expected a product that would work. I've followed the solutions that have been suggested by Acronis since purchasing the software and it STILL doesn't work.
Acronis: What's the next step???

I've been working with Acronis Corporate Support [ ref:00D3Zcb.50058a7oC:ref ] for quite a while, and nothing that has been suggested has resolved this problem. As a result, I'm left with two machines that I cannot back up with Acronis.
This is a very unsettling situation. I look forward to an actual resolution to this problem, and hope the resolution is available very soon.

Unfortunately, the latest build did not resolve the problem. I look forward to anything that can be done to resolve this problem successfully and quickly. This ticket has been open for a very long time.

hello all,
the solution was to remove the "Broadcom - Suite". After that the network adapter informations in the
msinfo32 are available an connecting to the local machine is possible.

Hello Anton,
Removing all of the Broadcom components as described by Juergen resolved the problem completely. I'd closed the support ticket, and should have reported resolution here as well.
I have one remaining problem (Acronis Management Server crashing), which I think we're slowly working toward a resolution.
Thanks,
Jim
