Active directory plugin failing to connect to server after restarting Windows Server 2k12R2

[John Weismiller]

Hi all,

I am attempting to setup a Jenkins installation (currently in a testing virtual machine), and I would like to use active directory so that I don't need to manage the users.

Everything works perfectly fine after I enable the plugin, and I can log in using my local windows account.  However, when I restart the virtual machine and attempt to load the Jenkins web page, I get an exception page.  If I then manually restart the service from the command line using "net stop Jenkins" followed by "net start Jenkins", everything works fine again.  Has anybody seen anything like this before?  

Thanks,

John

Here is the error that I get:

Update: I think I figured it out.  It appears that the service is started before the rest of the networking subsystem is up.

I manually added the following within the <service/> block to C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\Jenkins.xml:

<depend>DNS</depend>

Then stopped the Jenkins service, and unregistered and registered the service using the following in an administrative command prompt:

> cd \Program Files (x86)\Jenkins
> net stop jenkins
> jenkins uninstall
> jenkins install
> net start jenkins

Now Jenkins seems to come up properly each time I reboot.

Disclaimer: I'm not sure if that is the correct dependency, but it works for me.
