]]

The operating system is Windows, using a non-administrator user. When started with a Windows administrator user, the agent starts up and successfully runs jobs as expected. 

The same or similar behavior is observed when executing the OPatch utility to retrieve the domain inventory.

Changes

The Windows operating system may have been recently upgraded or patched, or the security policies on the user/machine may have been changed.
