Windows Agent Failing Randomly

CMK version: 2.2.0p32.cce
OS version: Appliance 1.7.4

One of our Windows servers seems to stop talking to CheckMK, a service restart restores communication but it will randomly fail again in the future. From looking at the logs I can see the following which I think is the issue. Any suggestions on how to fix this or what is making it break?

I will update you, if i find anything.

I’ve actually been experiencing the same thing. We’re running cloud version 2.3.0p22.

Noticing the same with Windows servers.

Did you get any resolution. I did open a ticket with support as well.

Piling on with the same issue here, intermittently across all our Windows servers. @BTNE what did their support day - were they able to resolve your issue?
