Can't install Azure ARC on multiple Server 2025 devices
I have multiple Server 2025 devices that when I click "Launch Azure Arc Setup" button on taskbar icon or "Azure Arc Setup" on start menu nothing happens. I then tried to download arcsetup.exe and it ...
Same issue for me. With a fresh Server 2025 ISO (24H2 - November 2024) the setup launched correctly. With a Server 2025 ISO (24H2.5 - March 2025) the setup does not launch correctly.
Two things you can try:
- Log into Azure at this link: https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.HybridCompute and pick the "Add Windows Server with installer" option to download a updated installer called arcsetup.exe.
- Click the first or second option on that same page and run a onboarding script (See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/network-watcher/connection-monitor-connected-machine-agent?tabs=WindowsScript )
Downloading the updated setup file worked for me. I'm guessing there is a bug in the one included in the 24H2.5 March ISO.
I downloaded from that link on March 19 and got 95 MB file. I downloaded again today and 107 MB. They definitely replaced the file in last two weeks. The new installer gets farther but still doesn't seem to complete?
