My SCCM server in the midst of deploying new clients when it started behaving strangely.\u00a0 Deployments started failing and progressively the server operations degraded and Windows Explorer stopped working.<\/p>\n
After a reboot, a domain user cannot login, all that is shown on screen is “Connecting to User Profile service”.\u00a0 Local administrator was able to login though. A quick check with noodles, reveal a possible problem with profiles, 959125\u00a0but that is for Vista and Windows 2008 SP1.\u00a0 Mine is Windows 2008 R2.<\/p>\n
Using the local admin account on the KVM, I noticed that there are several other\u00a0 things that are not working right, “Network and Sharing Center” windows does not get populated and there is red X on it.\u00a0 Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer don’t launch.\u00a0 This does not look like a problem with Profiles.\u00a0 Event Viewer reveals that the COM+ service and VSS is not running properly.<\/p>\n
There is this mysterious Event ID 4609 about a program failing to run<\/p>\n
The COM+ Event System detected a bad return code during its internal processing. HRESULT was 80070005 from line 200 of d:\\w7rtm\\com\\complus\\src\\events\\tier2\\service.cpp. This warning may be expected if the computer is low on resources. If the computer is not low on resources, and these warnings persist, it may indicate a problem in the COM+ Event System.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
VSS error 8193<\/p>\n
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine IEventSystem::Store. hr = 0x80010108, The object invoked has disconnected from its clients<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The strange thing is that from the outside, everything is working.\u00a0 Shares can be connected, Computer Management works etc.<\/p>\n
I have thought it was due to IPv6 protocol was disabled after spending an hour struggling with blank “Network and Sharing” window, I managed to get to Network properties, all protocols enabled.<\/p>\n
This is now getting urgent due to other factors.\u00a0 I googled on the “D:\\…..” error and found a fix from Alaska Admin.\u00a0 This involves replacement of the security keys in OLE.\u00a0 What keys?\u00a0 Launch control. Possibly for COM+ Event!\u00a0 Backup and replaced the keys from another working server. \u00a0Thereafter it literally woke up.<\/p>\n
If you do not have a healthy Windows 2008 server to copy the keys from, create a virtual server.\u00a0 The keys are not tied to the hardware and will work across different servers.<\/p>\n
Eventid<\/a>\u00a0 AlaskaAdmin<\/a> ( possibly dead link). Use this<\/a><\/p>\n
