I have
I have added Dmgr01 and Node agent as windows services and they start automatically. Now, I want the application server associated with the node agent to start automatically. I tried selecting the option "Start Components as needed" but no luck. Can someone help me on how to start the application server automatically when node agent starts
Please take a look at this link: How nodeagent monitors WebSphere Application Server https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-nodeagent-monitors-websphere-application-server
You should not set the appserver that is federated to a dmgr to start with a Windows Service, you should use the nodeagents ability to start the servers, which is controlled by each application servers monitoring policy
