I am rolling out the universal forwarders to my domain controllers.
All was going well untill I started installing it on my 2008R2 domain controllers.
The universla forwarder works fine on my 2k3 and 2008 boxes.
On my 2008R2 servers the agent checks in but doews not send any events.
It looks like it gets it config from the deployment server but then it can't connect.
I found this in the splunkd.log:
No connection could be made
