Central Management Server Fails to start

server administration XI Server Discussion

I have a situation where the central management server fails to start whenever the server is rebooted after applying patches. As a result, users are unable to login to WEBI and the scheduled reports don’t run. When patches are applied without rebooting, it keeps running without any issues.

Should I shut the central management server down manually or by writing a script? What are the services and dependencies that I’d have to shut down and in which order?

Is there an easier way to handle this? Any ideas?

What happens when you just do a reboot, without the patches applied, does the CMS re-start then?

If so, have you checked your server logs to see whther it is actually trying to restart after the patch application?
