We’ve run into this issue as well on our Windows 2012R2 hosts. In our cases, it seems that setting startup to Automatic (Delayed) does indeed fix the startup problem, but from the documentation for chef_service_manager I’m not sure how to do this automatically, or if it would require some mangling via windows_service in a recipe.

We haven’t noticed this issue on other non-2012R2 Windows hosts.

Thanks,

Gregory

We are having an issue with the
12.4.1 chef client for windows 2012 R2 (12.4.0 fails as well).  No matter if
we install the service via the msi or the chef_service_manager command the
chef service will not start on its own and reports to windows that it has
timed out.  I have read online that if you set it to Automatic delayed that
this fixes the issue however that has not worked for us. I have also added DNS and wmi as dependencies.  I can start it
manually and it runs as it should but it will not start on its own. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
