Event Viewer - various errors

[Terry Pinnell]

I'm chasing elusive problems, and one thing I'm looking at is the
Event Viewer. These are 3 errors I'v seen in last 24 hours. Hopefully
these mean something to the experts here, as they are gobbledegook to
me!

-------

"DCOM got error "The service cannot be started, either because it is
disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. "
attempting to start the service ImapiService with arguments "-Service"
in order to run the server:
{520CCA63-51A5-11D3-9144-00104BA11C5E}"

The above identical message reported 5 times in quick succession.

-------

I also had an error with COM+
"The run-time environment was unable to initialize for transactions
required to support transactional components. Make sure that MS-DTC is
running. (DtcGetTransactionManagerEx(): hr = 0x8004d01b)"

-------

Also this one in Userenv
"Windows saved user TERRY\Terry registry while an application or
service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used
by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be
unloaded when it is no longer in use.

This is often caused by services running as a user account, try
configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or
NetworkService account.

Terry,
These are minor issues.
1) ImapiService error > go to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools >
Services > scroll down and double-click 'IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service' and
change the 'Startup type' to 'Manual' > OK

2) MS-DTC error > go to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Services >
scroll down and double-click 'Distributed Transaction Coordinator' and
change the 'Startup type' to 'Manual' > OK

3) Registry Memory error: I don't believe this a problem but more of a
message letting you know that memory will be freed on your next reboot. I
see this error over and over and has never been a problem.

Good Luck,
Drew

For this error, which really isn't much of a problem unless you are
seeing significantly long delays in shutting down, install the Microsoft
User Profile Hive Cleanup Service (UPHClean)

Rock, Paul: Thanks, installed and ran that. Not sure if I was supposed
to see anything or interact? However, my long shot hope that it might
automagically solve the *main* problem I'm chasing was in vain ;-(

No you won't see anything displayed or interact with it. In event
veiwer you should see a uphclean service started message at bootup and
if something at shutdown there will be a uphclean entry showing what
hung up. For me, when something does, it is always one of the svchost
services. But it doesn't happen on every shutdown. More often than
not it does not happen. I wouldn't have expected it to help with the
other two problems. Sorry I can't help with those.

OK, appreciate the follow-up.

Just discovered that there is a specialised MS WMI group, namely
microsoft.public.windowsxp.wmi (Surprised none of the MVPs in the 3
groups I've been using knew about that!)

Lots of users with similar or probably related problems in that group.
I have a lot of reading to do.

Ok, good luck and if you get a resolution post back here if you can for
others to benefit.

At this page
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;867652
there are instructions to '...set permissions for WMI namespaces by
using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC),' which looked
conceivably relevant to my problem.
The instructions start:
'To set the permissions, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type compmgmt.msc, and then click OK.
2. Under Computer Management (Local), expand Services and
Applications, right-click WMI Control, and then click Properties. '

But here, the WMI Control Properties window comes up with its General
tab displayed, and these entries:
Failed to initialize all required WMI classes.
Win32_Processor: WMI: Access denied
Win32_WMISetting: Successful
Security information: Successful
Win32_OperatingSystem: WMI: Access denied

None of the other tabs (Logging, Backup/Restore, Security, Advanced)
can be opened.
