Mcafee Failed to authenticate with remote system, system error: There is no user session key for the specified logon session

I was trying to automatically install an Mcafee agent v.4.6 to a Windows 2008 R2 and I was getting the following message in ePO console.

Mcafee Failed to authenticate with remote system, system error: There is no user session key for the specified logon session.

Problem?

Time sync.

Target server had more than 2 hours difference from domain time. So adjusted time and issue resolved.
