Starting / Stopping Services

[Nouman]

Whenever I start / stop the following services:

Client Service for Netware
Smart Card
Windows Time
Cryptographic Service
Logical Disk Manager
Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service

I receive the following error:
CONFIGURATOIN MANAGER: THE SPECIFIED DEVICE INSTANCE
HANDLE DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO A PRESENT DEVICE.

I have searched vigorously (this newsgroup and web) but I
cannot find a solution.


I did find a post that suggested a registry entry might be
missing (only relating to the smart card service):
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SCardSvr\Enum
has an entry:
0=Root\LEGACY\SCARDSVR\0000
which would appear to correspond to(this entry non-
existant) :
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SCARDSVR

However, after checking a full install XP I found the
entry:
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SCARDSVR
did not exist either. And the full install XP works fine
without that registry entry.

Also mentioned in that post was how to uninstall/reinstall
the smart card service (@dos prompt: scardsvr
uninstall ...scardsvr install). This fixed the error I
was receiving when I started/stopped the smart card
service (the error: "CONFIGURATOIN MANAGER: THE SPECIFIED
DEVICE INSTANCE HANDLE DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO A PRESENT
DEVICE")

Having reinstalled the smart card service I checked all of
the other services again.

This time I get no error for starting/stopping smart card
service (SCardSvr).
I get an error for Smart Card Helper service:
"Could not start the Smart Card Helper service on Local
Computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group
failed to start."

I get an error for Client Service for Netware:
"Could not start the Client Service for Netware on Local
Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the file
specified."

I get the same error (CONFIGURATOIN MANAGER: THE SPECIFIED
DEVICE INSTANCE HANDLE DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO A PRESENT
DEVICE) for Windows Time, Cryptographic , Logical Disk
Manager, Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service
but these four services do start and stop.


Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Nouman,

That's a heavy load to give one straight forward answer. If your worried
about just the error message, I'd say that you could ignore it. If you need
those components in your runtime track down the files that the services own,
make a filter in TD for each, search, and add those components to your
config. Make sure to satisfy all the dependencies, rebuild, and re-deploy. I
know it's alot of work, but there isn't a straight answer that I can see.
Maybe someone else can help with the services individually. HTH,

I'm going to start sounding like a parrot here, but it
sounds like you're missing a component or two somewhere,
it might be worth trying the vampire.slx (the dated
version) on xpefiles.com which will give you a complete
list of software components. Add your .pmq file and any
custom components to this, fill in your settings, and see
if you're still having problems. If it all works with the
vampire, you know it's a dependency problem, and you can
work out (by comparing the log files) which components are
in the vampire build and not in your original build, and
start taking educated guesses as to what you need in there
to get it working... or you could just do as I did as
systematically remove components from the vampire build a
few at a time, and work it out that way. Takes a while,
but it does work. I got my image down to less than 100MB
compressed.
