Zabbix Agent not starting on Windows Server 2008 R2

[costineln]

Hi,

I am trying to install Zabbix Agent on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have so far tried on 2 servers with the same issue.
Works fine on Server 2016.
The agent installs, but when the service starts it crashes with the following error:

6532:20211021:070826.702 Starting Zabbix Agent [Server_Name]. Zabbix 5.4.6 (revision ed5eee80eb).

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi there

the solution is in the log you posted:
6532:20211021:070827.545 cannot obtain required buffer size: [0xC0000BBB] A PDH function could not allocate enough temporary memory to complete the operation. Close some applications or extend the pagefile and retry the function.

Not enough memory.
