I have a SATA hardware raid on some of my servers. Very similar systems. On two out of 5 servers I push the agent successfully, it reboots and starts the services successfully, but when I try to reconnect, the console shows the server for a brief second and then errors.
In the event logs on these servers I find:
Event Type: Error
