Hi, I am trying to set up System Center 2012 and associated components for evaluation purposes. I have followed Kevin Remde's blogs and videos for doing the same. But for some reason, the unified installer fails after a couple of hours giving the "progress.xml has not changed for more than 120 minutes" error. Below is the last few lines of the log file which may be helpful in solving this. Thanks in advance for help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [6/15/2012 6:15:37 AM] INFO - Firewall is Active [6/15/2012 6:15:37 AM] DEBUG - Attempting to add TECTESTLAB\Administrator to OrchestratorUsersGroup localgroup OrchestratorUsersGroup TECTESTLAB\Administrator /add [6/15/2012 6:15:37 AM] INFO -
