On Windows Server 2012, I have created a C# Windows service which runs with a service account.
In constructor I am reading configuration from a SQL Server database using ADO.NET.
When I am trying to start the service, it fails with below exceptions. After a few attempts to start the service, it is getting started.
"The wait operation timed outconnection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement."
Below is the exception message from Logs
The wait operation timed outconnection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement.
This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in time.
The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=21169; handshake=332;at system.Data.sqlclient.sqlinternalconnection.onError(sqlException exception, Boolean breakconnection, Action'l wrapcloseinAction)
