I am having strange issues with NFS server on CentOS 7.2.

(Obligatory: "7.2" means you haven't applied patches in a very long time, and probably have a large number of security vulnerabilities on this system as well as bugs you're likely to hit and then ask about here.  Please update for your sake and ours)

[root@hostname ~]# systemctl restart nfs-server

** (pkttyagent:20603): WARNING **: Unable to register authentication agent: Timeout was reached

I think that's the sort of thing you'd see if you updated the dbus packages.  You'd need to restart the dbus service, which will break some things.  You're better off rebooting this time, if a dbus update is the cause.
