The issue occurs because infrastructure support for Windows 2016 agent is not available by default in ESM Product Update 11.0.5.

Note: If you face the similar issue while registering any other CCS agent on a Solaris-SPARC ESM Manager, the workaround steps would be similar as listed earlier. For downloadable files for any other CCS agent, contact Symantec Technical Support.
