Cause

Missing Deployment Solution plugin

Resolution

1 (Optional).
If the job fails to start i.e. being put to sleep, try changeing the assigned task server.
Under SMP console >Settings >Notification Server > Site Server Settings
Select a new task Server & Manually Assign the client computer to new task server.
**This should help you run the job and get a proper error.
 

2. Please use the following policy to install Deployment solution plugin on the client (depending on the hardware type)

SMP Console > settings > All Settings  >Agents/Plug-ins  >Deployment and Migration  >Windows (x86)  >Deployment Plug-in for Windows (x86) - Install

After successful plugin installation, the File Copy task should run without error.
