Move-Item "C:\ProgramData\FireEye\xagt" "xagt.old"

Then run (This will error with Error 1738) but it will re-create the xagt folder

& "C:\Program Files (x86)\FireEye\xagt\xagt.exe" --cfg-export 'C:\Install\Export.cfg'

Then import the config from the installation media or from an exported working configuration from another server.

& "C:\Program Files (x86)\FireEye\xagt\xagt.exe" --cfg-import 'C:\Install\GoodConfig.cfg'

OR

& "C:\Program Files (x86)\FireEye\xagt\xagt.exe" --cfg-import 'C:\Install\agent_config.json'
