I am trying to install a VSTS agent on a win 2012 R2 server but it is failing with "An error occurred while sending the request. failed to connect "
I am not sure of what is going on here. I am behind a corporate firewall. But when i tried it on my local system on the same domain and under the same firewall it is working.Only in that specific server it is not.
Can anyone help me out with the same? (could not post the whole hence copied from where it says connect)
Below is the response from the _diag folder
