Hi there, I am struggling with winlogbeat 7.10.0. I installed the service in 68 hosts and everything seems fine (configuration and msi deployed via group policy). But there are a some hosts that fail to start the service. The configuration file is correct and it's the same for all hosts. ![image007](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/4/c47b1219de331db9828f2cb959ad0f70452205be.png) Everything works in the other workstations/servers. This is the error. "error 1068 the dependency service or group failed to start" ![image011](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/1/511d1ffb71180b5948b15971edfc89a22cc025ca.jpeg) ![image012](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/7/c7fc9021584a0c36f90fab49b52e6a3dbd024dd7.jpeg) There are 4 hosts with this problem 1 Windows Server 2008R2 2 Windows 7 PRO 1 Windows 10 Last Windows Updates Net Framework: 4.7.2 (a reboot didn't resolve) Thanks to all ---
