Okta AD Agent installation is failing. Logs show: "Service Okta AD Agent was not found on computer"

Hello,

 

Running into issues trying to get the Okta AD Agent installed onto our one of our domain controllers. I am following the steps found here.

 

https://help.okta.com/oie/en-us/Content/Topics/Directory/ad-agent-new-integration.htm

 

The first run through, I get to step 3.k and log into Okta using my admin credentials. After that, this blank error message pops up. Since that attempt, I do not get the option to log into Okta anymore. It immediately goes to this blank screen.

Checking the installation logs found , this is what I see.

Troubleshooting steps taken

  • I've deleted the C:/Program Files (x86)/Okta/Okta AD Agent before attempting another installation.
  • I've tried on a different domain controller. Same vpc
  • Checked local and global policies for AES-128 and 256
  • Verified that we have all of these prerequisites in link below.
  • Using my own domain admin credentials to install
  • When prompted, used a super admin okta account to login

    Hello @ic93u (ic93u)​ Thank you for reacting out to our Community!

     

    Please try the following steps as well:

    • make sure that the Okta URL is added to the trusted sites
    • try a different admin account, from your server
    • keep in mind that Server 2008 R2 is no longer supported
    • restart server and try again with the installation

     

    Hope this helps!

    I got the same issue since 2 month. I found a workaround by creating the service manually and some copy paste during the setup process.

    At this time, the support is still investigating with no success 😐
