Problem with deploy Agent on any Windows Server edition


Recommended Posts

Helo Folks, someone could help me with installation Agent on windows server?

I have a Protect Console on-prem where I built agent installer for GPO deploy. Installer works well on any windows workstation edition since 10 but I cannot install it on windows server edition, I checked since 2012 R2 to 2022 and when I am trying install it manually, I am getting an error like on screenshot. I did not find any useful information in installation log (is attached) so I focused on the error where the installer stopped. "Inserting peer certificate content ..." and ...

I exported the certificate used to generate the agent installer and when I manually try to install it on a Windows Server, I receive a message about an incorrect password, the same certificate installs on Windows 10 or 11 without any problems.  I'm lost ;) Can anyone help? Thank you in advance.

Are you able to run the agent msi installer on the server and install it locally?

Password for cert is black and is working on any Windows Workstation I also generate another cert but with password and also is not possible to install it on Server Edition (wrong pass), but Workstation is ok 😕

Couldn't it be that advanced security is enabled in the ESET PROTECT setup but the server you are attempting to install the agent on does not have a Windows update adding SHA-256 code signing support installed?

Marcos You are right. I thought this applies to systems up to 2008R2. I read somewhere that since 2012R2 I don't have to take any action with SHA2.

Finally, I export cert from windows 11 as SHA1 and install agent offline with full success.

How can I enable SHA2 support on my servers?

Thanks
