My Windows 2012 ISCSI Target service needs to be restarted every time the server starts.

Question

Every time I restart my Windows 2012 server, the ISCSI Target Service is unavailable to the clients even though it appears to be running.
I have to restart the service, then the clients can connect to it. 
I tried to change the startup Type to Delayed, but I get an error 87: parameter is incorrect.
I've tried to delete and recreate the VHD and ISCSI Target.
I've tried to uninstall the Role, and reinstall it. 
Anybody have any additional ideas to try and troubleshoot this?
Thank you

The service is not starting correctly, even though it does start. If I restart the service, everything works correctly. Here is the event in the ISCSI Target.
