Windows server was updated from 10 to 11. TLS certificates were updated. I've verified that its using 1.2. SSL works as well. Azure DevOps is accessible via the server.
Installing a new agent result in the same issue
attempting to restart/remove the agent via start/setup .cmd files yields no results. Give the same result SSL
System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception.
---> System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host..
---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (10054): An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
I was able to previously restart the agent via .cmd files but do not remember encountering the ssl issue.
I can post additional details if needed. I've explored all avenues that I could think of. Please assist.
