I'm working on setting up some new servers and one of them is giving me issues with starting the Agent. It looks like, from looking in the SQLAGENT.OUT and ERRORLOGs, that the Agent is trying to start, but the SQL engine isn't ready for connections when it does.If I go in and manually start the Agent, it starts up with no errors or warnings.What I'm thinking of doing, but I'm not sure it's a "safe" option, is using the Services MMC (NOT the SQL Configuration Manager) to set the Agent service startup to "Automatic (Delayed Start)" This is not an option in the SCM (I checked.) I've already tried setting a recovery option on the service, which didn't work either (most likely because the service didn't "fail," it stopped itself normally.)Is it reasonably safe to change the startup type the way I'm looking to do?Server specs:Windows Server 2012 R2SQL Server 2014 SP2Thanks all,Jason
