Rerr4133(L312) ReadEvent Failed LastCode 0

Resolution

In order to rectify the problem you can perform the following steps on the agent machine.

Modify the following registry key to delay the MC jobs from starting for a few seconds to prevent this error: 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NETIQ\AppManager\4.0\netiqmc\config\StartupDelay = "15" (Decimal)

This registry key is defaulted to this value in more recent releases of AppManager.

Cause
