# Restarting the HPE Morpheus Enterprise Agent

In some situations, it may necessary to restart the HPE Morpheus Enterprise Agent on the host to re-sync communication from the Agent to the HPE Morpheus Enterprise appliance.

## Linux

On the target host, run `sudo morpheus-node-ctl restart morphd` and the HPE Morpheus Enterprise agent will restart. `morpheus-node-ctl status` will also show the agent status.

## Windows

The HPE Morpheus Enterprise Windows Agent service can be restarted in Administrative Tools > Services.

TIP

The HPE Morpheus Enterprise Remote Console is not dependent on Agent communication and can be used to install or restart the HPE Morpheus Enterprise agent on an Instance.
