Description

When the script EnableAzureArc.ps1 is checking for the installed version of Azure Arc in windows 2012 it doesn't properly convert from json in the function Get-ArcAgentStatus.

This is the error I get on all windows 2012 R2 that already have Arc installed when the script runs this command
"[Version]$LocalAgentVersion = (Get-ArcAgentstatus).Agentversion":
"ConvertFrom-Json : Invalid object passed in, ':' or '}' expected. (1): {"

Instead of this "[Version]$LocalAgentVersion = (Get-ArcAgentstatus).Agentversion" a fix I applied is did was these:

[Version]$LocalAgentVersion = (& "$($env:ProgramW6432)\AzureConnectedMachineAgent\azcmagent.exe" --version) -split '(?=\d)',2)[1]

Research direction

Start in EnableAzureArc.ps1 at Get-ArcAgentStatus and reproduce the failure from the [Version]$LocalAgentVersion = (Get-ArcAgentstatus).Agentversion command on Windows Server 2012 R2. Compare its JSON conversion with the reported azcmagent.exe --version result, and verify that installed Arc version detection completes successfully on the affected systems.
