Windows Agent - Error 1053

[clarkjm]

I found that the local services "User" didn't have write permissions for the new folder I created where the log file was to be stored. When I added the security permissions the log file was created when I started the service and the error went away.

Hi,

In my case, the "h" letter in Hostname was in lowercase, changed to uppercase and working again.

Error 1053 was showing up for me in hex as 41D

C:\Program Files\zabbix_agent>zabbix_agentd.exe -s
zabbix_agentd.exe [2432]: ERROR: cannot start service [Zabbix Agent]: [0x0000041D] The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

The agent wouldn't start if I was using an include file. Turns out it was an encoding issue. The include file was in UTF-8 but had a Byte Order Mark (BOM). I discovered this by opening both the main conf file plus my additional conf file in Notepad++. From within Notepad++, I chose the same encoding as the original conf file, saved, and all was well.

Thanks for sharing this information. It's useful. Also try using derivativecalculator.co guide for resolving any derivatives doubt. It's useful too.

Hello,

In my case, it's the faulty counter performance and a curupt registry. (Windows Server 2019)

I made this order in cmd :

Reset performance counter : lodctr /r
And resynchronise Windows management : winmgmt /resyncperf
Reboot winmgmt : net stop winmgmt and net start winmgmt
Reboot Zabbix agent and it worked.
