Reinstallation of POA Agent does not help.

Cause

Issue was caused by Domain Admins group being not included into Administrators group. That caused POA Agent's failure to read ..\PEM\etc directory on destination host, which contains important configuration files.

Resolution

Correct group membership: add Domain Admins group into Administrators local group using Local Users and Groups(lusrmgr.msc).
