      For unknown and unclear reason windows agent may reply with empty value even for so dummy user pameter as "echo 1".
      It's random and it's not possible to understand why.
      It happened on agent version 2.4.3 and 2.4.6 too.

      Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64 bit SP1
      Agent exe is x64 arch.

      Some examples form debug log:
      agent 2.4.3:

      Corresponding part of shell for attempts below:

      C:\Program Files\zabbix>zabbix_get -V
      Zabbix get v2.4.6 (revision 54782) (10 August 2015)
      Compilation time: Aug 10 2015 10:20:56

      C:\Program Files\zabbix>zabbix_agentd -c ./zabbix_agentd.conf -t test1
      test1                                         [t|1]
      C:\Program Files\zabbix>zabbix_get -s localhost -k agent.version
      2.4.6
      C:\Program Files\zabbix>zabbix_get -s localhost -k test1
      
      C:\Program Files\zabbix>zabbix_get -s localhost -k test1
      1
      C:\Program Files\zabbix>zabbix_get -s localhost -k test1
      

      It happens when use zabbix_get for running zabbix agent.
      But NOT reproducible if test it by "zabbix_agentd -c ./zabbix_agentd.conf -t test1"
      It happens for many/all user parameters including which defined as agent active and being checked once per day.
      This win host has 15 custom lld rules and they all are agent active, item prototypes are also agent active.
