I am getting the same error on a server that is in the same domain as our Orion server. The agent had actually been installed and working just fine but around 6:30am today it stopped communicating with Orion and was reported as down, even though the server was up. Tried rebooting the server, and tried to remove and re-install the agent and am now getting the same error you posted. I've deleted the node and agent from Orion and I can't re-add it from the console either. I haven't contacted support yet but will do that soon.

I'm running into this same issue on four Windows IIS servers. Did either of you get this sorted out?

Hi, there's this solution in the knowledgebase though, might be worth a try: Manual agent install fails with Time Out error - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Thanks for the tip. I've tried it using a local account on the server, and an Orion non-AD account, and I'm still not getting anywhere.

Do you get the same error when doing orion server intiated rather than agent initiated?

That's one way to get the agent installed, but Orion isn't successful in managing the agent using the other communication method. Still working on it...

Hi Andrew,

This WinHttpSendRequest 12002 error is simply a timeout error. It means the Agent was unable to connect to the Orion Server in 'Active' agent mode. This is most commonly caused by hardware/software firewalls, router access control lists, proxy servers, between the Agent and the Orion server itself.

We had to delete all the ProgramData/SolarWinds after uninstalling the agent, then reinstalling the agent worked again.

Had a customer with this issue. It turned out that he has proxy configured, which he does not see for IE.

This topic turned my attention to proxy
https://community.carbonblack.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/CB-Protection-WinHTTP-Proxy-blocking-agent-communications/ta-p/75821

So It does not need to be just FW, proxy configured can also cause this.

What is really hard is that all troubleshooting steps to validate connection will pass (telnet, browser test using https://PollerIP:17778/) as they will not use this proxy.

So if you encounter this ERROR, check whether some proxy is configured via:
netsh winhttp show proxy
