Not sure where this goes....move if needed...
I am trying out the Elastic Agent. I've downloaded the agent to the server, setup a policy on the fleet server and am copy/pasting the command in Fleet Server to enroll the agent and it runs successfully, though I have to include`-i` to bypass cert verification. Logs aren't coming through and when I run `elastic-agent status` I get the below error...any ideas what it means?
```auto
Error: failed to communicate with Elastic Agent daemon: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = connection error: desc = "transport: Error while dialing open \\\\.

```

Could you please share the exact commands you are trying to run and the logs? (Ofc, you can leave out the credentials, etc.)
