Agent install error
Hi Everyone, One of the servers running the agent was failing to update so I attempted a reinstall. During install it fails / rollsback with an error in the log stating "failed connecting to service. The issue can be caused by a transparent proxy configuration". The device does use a proxy set via netsh, and I've tried specifying it on the command line of the install. I have read elsewhere that this can be related to SSL inspection or an issue with Root CAs on the device. I know there is no inspection going on in this case. I have compared the Root CA list on this device to working devices and don't see anything related to Microsoft that is different. Any ideas?

Hi Everyone, I was re-installing a sensor that was stuck on updates and I get an error in the logs - failed connecting to service. The issue can be caused by a transparent proxy configuration From what I can find that's related to either missing certificates or SSL inspection. The proxy works fine for other sensors and I know it's not inspecting this traffic anyway. I found a troubleshooting page that calls out the specific Root CA - "DigiCert Global Root G2" which exists on this machine. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-for-identity/troubleshooting-known-issues#proxy-authentication-problem-presents-as-a-connection-error I believe this sChannel error is related The remote server has requested SSL client authentication, but no suitable client certificate could be found. I am stumped at this point, any help is appreciated.
Clarification over "dormant" account status
I was looking today at our list of "Remove dormant accounts from sensitive groups" within Microsoft Defender for Identity, and one service account has caused a bit of discussion. The account would only be used on-premise and would never be carrying out authentications out of our estate. In this case would Defender for Identity still see the account as being "dormant", or is the reason because it's not carried out any of those off-estate authentications? Apologies if this is a simple question, but it would be very helpful to know the answer.
Defender for Identity Certificate Requirements
One of the required certificates for the MDI sensor to run is this certificate: Subject : CN=Baltimore CyberTrust Root, OU=CyberTrust, O=Baltimore, C=IE Issuer : CN=Baltimore CyberTrust Root, OU=CyberTrust, O=Baltimore, C=IE Thumbprint : D4DE20D05E66FC53FE1A50882C78DB2852CAE474 FriendlyName : DigiCert Baltimore Root NotBefore : 5/12/2000 11:46:00 AM NotAfter : 5/12/2025 4:59:00 PM Extensions : {System.Security.Cryptography.Oid, System.Security.Cryptography.Oid, System.Security.Cryptography.Oid} It expires in a little over 2 weeks. I still see it listed as required here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-for-identity/troubleshooting-known-issues Does anyone know if that requirement will be going away and/or will the certificate be updated before this one expires? I haven't been able to find anything related to its replacement through my various searches so I apologize if this has been covered already. Thanks.
