messenger service

[lino]

Hi all,
I added the Messenger Service component to my XPe configuration and then I
enable it by setting the Start service key to Automatic (2), but the service
doesn't start anyway.
Using "net start messenger" command I get the error:

The Messenger service could not be started.
A service specific error occurred: 2280
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3547

Why that?

Thanks in advance.

lino,

You are probably referring to "Messenger Service (Net Send)" component, aren't you?
I've noticed some issues with that component but before publishing it lets investigate what you've got on your side.

A few things you may want to check at the run time:
- All dependencies of the component are included and resolved in your image config, right?
- Any Messenger related errors/warning logged in Event Log?
- Did the [HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Messenger] registry key get populated at run time? (specifically, the
Parameters subkey)

Hi KM,

Yes, the component I use is the "Messenger Service (Net Send)" one and all
dependency are resolved automatically by the Target Designer (FP2007
version). No Messenger messages in the event log (but I have to better
investigate because I don't have the Event Viewer configured on that
system). Registry entry seams to be completed (I checked against my laptop
configuration).

Thanks.

lino,

Sort of good news. I checked - the Messenger service (FP2007) works just fine on XPProEmulaiton image (www.xpefiles.com) and getting
started automatically.

That indicates you are missing some components to get it started. Obviously, we don't know much about the image you created so the
only advice I can give you at this point is to try to start the service with a monitoring tool like FileMon/ProcessMonitor running
in background. You may be able to capture what dll(s) are missing on the image.

Another tool can be helpful to you here is DependencyMonitor. Make use of the Profiling feature of the tool.

A few more hints for you here. Make sure the following services (and appropriate components) are included and started on your image:
- NetBIOS interface on the installed and working NIC
- PnP ("Plug and Play" service)
- RPC ("Remote Procedure Call (RPC)" service)
- Workstation service ("Workstation Service" component that is often getting missed from Minlogon images)
