| [[known-issue-4084]] | ||
| .For new DEB and RPM installations the `elastic-agent enroll` command incorrectly reports failure | ||
| [%collapsible] | ||
| ==== | ||
| *Details* | ||
| When you run the <<elastic-agent-enroll-command,`elastic-agent enroll`>> command for an RPM or DEB {agent} package, a `Retarting agent daemon` message appears in the command output, followed by a `Restart attempt failed` error. | ||
| *Impact* + | ||
| The error does not mean that the enrollment failed. The enrollment actually succeeded. You can ignore the `Restart attempt failed` error and continue by running the following commands, after which {agent} should successfully connect to {fleet}: | ||
| [source,console] | ||
| ---- | ||
| sudo systemctl enable elastic-agent | ||
| sudo systemctl start elastic-agent | ||
