Issue
When configuring Jenkins Agents as a service in a Windows 2012 machine, using the option Let Jenkins control this Windows slave as a Windows service the service does not come up and we can see a stack trace like the one shown below:
ERROR: Unexpected error in launching an agent. This is probably a bug in Jenkins
org.jinterop.dcom.common.JIException: Service Logon Failure
at org.jvnet.hudson.wmi.Win32Service$Implementation.start(Win32Service.java:149)
...
Or:
jcifs.util.transport.TransportException, java.net.SocketException: Connection reset

Resolution
As explained in the windows-slave-plugin troubleshooting page, this means that the server is requiring the usage of an unsupported protocol SMB 2. You will need to take additional steps described below to enable the supported protocol SMB 1.
Once that you enable the SMB 1 protocol, you will need to update the permissions for the registry keys mentioned in the link above. Finally, the agent should be able to start normally.
