I am installing Elastic Agent 8.4.1 on a Win10 system using the command line and I get the following error and the server fleet keeps showing updates, how do I fix it?
The error is displayed：
Error: failed to communicate with Elastic Agent daemon: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = connection error: desc = "transport: Error while dialing open \\.\pipe\elastic-agent-system: Access is denied."
Any chance your version of Windows is localized (not English)? If so we had a bug with the permissions check (Fix admin permission check on localized windows by michalpristas · Pull Request #1552 · elastic/elastic-agent · GitHub)
Yes, the Windows versions are Korean version and Russian version, is there any temporary solution? Or do I need to wait to upgrade to version 8.5 and when will version 8.5 be available?
Consider the following:
- Disable windows defender
- Create an output rule in the windows firewall, releasing the Elastic agent
- Some rule in your edge firewall blocking communication
During installation, did you open the powershell terminal, with admin privilege, and enable running powershell scripts? powershell.exe -ep bypass
I also suggest taking a look at the link Endpoint management | Elastic Security Solution [8.5] | Elastic
Thank you for your reply, the upgrade to version 8.5.0 seems to have solved the problem, still need to keep watching the issue
