Error looping for System center endpoint protection

Question

Hello,

I have MEMCM 2203
I am doing the deployment of System Center Endpoint Protection to replace Sophos.

On some client Windows Server 2012 R2 (6.3.9600.20520) I an getting an error in a loop...

Apply AM Policy. EndpointProtectionAgent 9/16/2022 2:49:00 PM 91708 (0x1663C)
Cannot find Defender installation value under key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender EndpointProtectionAgent 9/16/2022 2:49:00 PM 91708 (0x1663C)
Defender not detected EndpointProtectionAgent 9/16/2022 2:49:00 PM 91708 (0x1663C)
Create Process Command line: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\ConfigSecurityPolicy.exe" "C:\Windows\CCM\EPAMPolicy.xml". EndpointProtectionAgent 9/16/2022 2:49:00 PM 91708 (0x1663C)
Failed to apply the policy C:\Windows\CCM\EPAMPolicy.xml with error (0x80004005) EndpointProtectionAgent 9/16/2022 2:49:00 PM 91708 (0x1663C)
Failed to apply policy with error 0x80004005, retry number : 1 after 60 second. EndpointProtectionAgent 9/16/2022 2:49:00 PM 91708 (0x1663C)

I saw the 0x80004005 code which looks like an access right denied, isn't it?
Which account is used?
Which access is required?

Thanks,
Dom
