Hello and welcome to the community,
The first thing I'm noticing here is that you are specifying to use a distribution server in the deployment template. You always need to make sure that all necessary patch files for deployment are downloaded and synchronized to the distribution server - otherwise it can cause issues like this.
Other than this - based on the last tracker messages you were receiving it could be an issue with the remote scheduler service we use on the target system.
For the scheduler:
-Check in the Protect console > Tools > Options > Scheduling to verify what scheduler settings you are using.
-Ensure that the scheduler port is open for communication from the console system to the target systems (default port is TCP 5120).
-You can try reinstalling the scheduler service. The easiest way to attempt this is to go into Manage > Scheduled tasks within Protect, then locate the target system in the left column. Right click and choose "Refresh selected". Once this is done, then right click on the machine again and choose Scheduler Service > Uninstall. Once this appears to be done then right click on the machine and choose Scheduler Service > Install. Try deploying again to see if this helps.
