Resolution

We reviewed the service manager logs and it had the following error

U00022008 Could not start process 'CP1'. Error Code '2'.
The system cannot find the file specified.

In the AutomationEngine\bin the binaries ucsrvcp.exe and ucsrvwp.exe were missing.

After copying the binaries we could find that the AE user password mentioned in the ucsrv.ini was not correct

After updating the user in ucsrv.ini all the services started fine.
