How to address Teramind Agent installation failures

Updated over 3 weeks ago

If you are encountering issues while installing the Teramind Agent, please follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve the most common causes:

1. Verify Administrator Privileges

Ensure that you have administrator privileges on the computer where you are attempting the installation. The installer requires elevated permissions to properly configure system services and drivers.

2. Configure Antivirus & EDR Exclusions

Many installation failures occur because security software incorrectly flags the Agent as a threat. To prevent this, add the necessary exceptions to your antivirus or EDR software.

Refer to our Antivirus & EDR Configuration Guide for a comprehensive list of paths and files to exclude.

3. Check for Connectivity and Reporting Issues

If the installation completes but the Agent does not appear to be working, it may be due to network or configuration issues preventing the agent from communicating with the server.
