Winlogbeat is failing

Hi,

I am setting up winlogbeat via sidecar. After applying the appropriate configuration (that works on other computers), I am getting this error at collectors administration page under winlogbeat.

" Failing"
If I hover on it, it says “Failed to install service, insufficient system resources exists to complete the requested service”

Looking at the endpoints sidecard logs i can see the following logs…

time="2020-04-21T08:00:09-04:00" level=info msg="Starting signal distributor" 
time="2020-04-21T08:00:20-04:00" level=info msg="No configurations assigned to this instance. Skipping configuration request."

time="2020-04-21T08:02:31-04:00" level=error msg="[winlogbeat] Failed to install service: [Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.]" 

I cant seem to find the issue because the configuration is the same on the other endpoints that are working. I also restarted the graylog sidecar service but the issue still persists. Also confirmed that the endpoint has enough free disk space. The only difference that I could really find is that this is a pretty old box (Windows Server 2003 R2)

Probably an OS issue… Elastic doesn’t list it as a supported OS for winlogbeat.

quick google search seems to indicate that others are having an issue… probably best to check elastic’s site… can’t see this as a Graylog/Sidecar issue.
