PAD Machine Registration Failure

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I'm running into an issue when attempting to register a machine to any given environment of ours. The error is as follows:

"An error occurred while registering your machine, please check your network connection settings or contact your administrator."

I have a matching machine that I'm attempting to join in a machine group together and this other machine does not run into any issues (same specs/setup).

 

After the failed registration, the machine will show up in Power Automate as offline despite it being power up and online.


Steps Completed:

-Reinstalled same version of PAD

-Removed all local PAD files and installed latest version as admin from PA site

-Tried registering to multiple environments that other machines have no issues with

-Used multiple accounts that all have the requisite access and work on other machines

-Confirmed .NET Framework version (4.8)

-Ensured the following reg key exists and has proper permissions (Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Power Automate Desktop)

-Did not find any conflicts with the port number for PAD, but this is not my expertise

 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
