Re: Messenger service registration on XP SP2

The msgsvc.dll on the effected systems is version 5.1.2600.2180, so I'll try
re-registering them and restarting. The network adaptors are Intel Pro 100/VE
and are connected to a Cisco Catalyst switch. There are errors in the event
log referencing dhcp renewal being canceled by the user on startup, as well
as a trio of "link up, link down, link up" messages in the event log on
startup. The three link state events all occur within a few seconds (so the
time difference between the first and 3rd is maybe 6 seconds.)
Does that internal article offer a fix for the issue you've described?

Hi Damien ,

First, pleae let me know if the adapters are Bridged Network Adapters. I
ask this because I found a internal article describered that NetBIOS name
machinename<03> unregistered after reboot if a couple of Network Cards to
be Bridged Network. At the boot time, The Messenger Service enumerate
NetBIOS Interfaces and count number of Interfaces. If computer has only one
Bridged Network, it wasn't initialized at this time, Because, Messenger
Service cannot get correct lana's information. GlobalData.NumNets was 0

If it is not your case, please try:

1. Go to %systemroot%\system32 and check the msgsvc.dll.
2. Right click this dll and select properties. Check the version if it is
later than 5.1.2600.1168
3. If it is later than 5.1.2600.1168, please try to re-register it by using
: "regsvr32 msgsvc.dll" to check the results.

Hope this helps.

Looks like I might have pasted the wrong article number. The one I was
thinking of was 306257 which describes the problem a little better. There
is
some vendor written software that runs on these effected PCs that requires
the Windows Messenger service in order to run properly.

Hi Damien,

Would you please check the article KB878468 again? Because I see the
article applies to :

Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2
Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=878468

And in this KB artilce, it shows we workaround this problem by
restarting
messenger service.

As you described this issue happens randomly, it may be caused by
accident
and you have done the right step to restart the messenger service.

Thanks.

I have a pair of XP Service Pack 2 machines, with the Intel Pro 100VE
NICs,
running as DHCP clients.

Sometimes when they bootup, the messenger service starts without error
but
won't send or recieve messages. Running nbtstat -n doesn't show the
messenger
service registrations. If the messenger service is restarted, the nbt
registrations occur correctly.

The only thing I've been able to find is kb article 878468, but it only
applies to Win2k and XP SP1.

Any ideas?
