Why Does the Agent Not Start the First Time I Launch It?

Due to the permission structure on some Windows machines, the Agent cannot be started the first time you launch it. If this happens:
  1. Right-click the Start menu.
  2. Click Run and enter cmd.
  3. Enter cd C:\SMS-Agent-Py2 to switch to the Agent installation directory. Run SMSAgentDeploy.exe, as shown in Figure 1.
