Windows zabbix agent install

[robit]

Hi

I try to install a windows_agent to windows2008 (64bit)

I logged with administrator privileges!
Copy the agent files to c:\zabbix folder
run the
zabbix_agentd.exe --config c:\zabbix\zabbix_agentd.win.conf --install
but come error message
"ERROR: Cannot connect to Service Manager: Access is denied."



The resolution:

go to c:\windows\System32 in explorer
select the cmd.exe -> right click -> run as administrator
in the opened cmd window run the install command.
the install success

Yes, you need to run your command line as an Administrator, otherwise you are trying to install something that will be running as a Service(Zabbix Agent is running as a service) and from OS perspective if it is being done without privileges then it is a harming attempt
