service dependencies

[iz]

Win32: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for
deletion.

Check Event Viewer for details on the error.

Ya, it gives DCOM errors regarding WMI. Q328366 talks about this but doesn't
propose any solution. Any thoughts?

No idea really without the text of the Event Viewer errors.

 

[iz]

here's the text from the event viewer error...

DCOM got error "The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for
deletion." attempting to start the service WinMgmt with arguments "" in
order to run the server:
{8BC3F05E-D86B-11D0-A075-00C04FB68820}

maybe it's looking for the disabled NIC instead of the live one, per that Q
article. how can I point it back correctly?

thanks.

For the circumstance in the article the switch is automatic after the six
minute delay. Appears that Windows Management Instrumentation may be somehow
corrupt.

So if it is corrupt, how can I correct it without having to reinstall the
entire server?

They may know better in management.mmc You never did say ..... are you
seeing any problems as a result of this or just simply the Event Viewer
error? Can you tie the first appearance to anything installed or any other
event?

 

[Dave Patrick]

I just looked at a Windows 2000 Advanced server
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinMgmt
the Reg_Multi_Sz
"DependOnGroup" is empty
the only value the Reg_Multi_Sz list
"DependOnService" is "RPCSS"

 

[iz]

On the last entry, mine says "RPCSS bh".
I only noticed this when I tried to open System Information. The last thing
installed on this machine was SP4.

Then it appears "bh" is the argument that is being passed to RPC. I've no
idea what it would be for. My server is also at service pack four.

Bingo!

My Advanced server is a mostly a test box, so I appended the 'bh' arg to the
value the Reg_Multi_Sz list
"DependOnService"="RPCSS" restart the box. I then run msinfo32.exe and about
eleven of these populate the system event log. If you decide to remove the
'bh' arg, be sure you use regedt32.exe as regedit.exe may convert the
Reg_Multi_Sz to a Reg_Sz string.

I changed it for this entry but wonder if it's other entries too.
Also, the dependencies not existing error happens on all services.

It may be time to backup and reinstall the operating system.

 

[iz]

Not gonna do that. The system is only 4 months old. Oh well. I'll live with
it for now.
Thanks for your help. Take care.
