Re: Services Stopping Unexpectedly - again, and again, and again



Hi Guys,

Any luck? I am having the same issue. At first we thought it was an
image we where deploying, but its random. Some of my clients get this
problem. Some do not. Reinstalling from scratch does solve it. Odd!!

You mentioned in your post that you would monitor the situation after turning
off Automatic Updated. Was wondering if it had the desired effect. I have
the exact symptoms as your post and a WSUS server that pushes out updates.
So, any new news on this one? I've been working with MS for days on this and
they haven't resolved yet.

Thanks,
John

Did you find a resolution outside of just disabling Automatic Updates? For
now, I have disabled the automatic updates on the two servers to see if there
is a positive effect. I will monitor. But obviously the solution should not
be limited to never perfoming auto updates anymore.

This is interesting, and thanks for your post.

You are not alone. We traced our problem back to Automatic Updates.
IF we turn off the automatic updates (to our own WSUS server), then
the other services don't stop. This is happening on 3 of our servers.
All of them were built by ADS, and an additional 5 of them from the
exact same image (total 8 new servers) and only 3 are having this
problem. We have seen it with both Standard and Enterprise edition.

No, but I appreciate your situation. I will certainly post the resolution
when I find it. This effects 2 of our servers as well (the only 2 we have,
both DCs).

Another oddidity is I keep seeing seeing is svchost.exe process errors.

I'm perplexed. I have a small network running Windows 2003 standard edition
server.

For about a week now I have serveral services that are normally started
automatically are stopping intermitently. When these services stop (IE
Workstation) all my users lose access to everything outside of their local
machine (printers, network drives, etc. - basically everything the
workstation is there to support). I've reviewed the event logs and the
primary event that is logged when users lose their network connections is the
following:
Source: Service Control Manager
Event ID: 7032
Description: The Service Control Manager tried to take a corrective action
(Restart the service) after the unexpected termination of the Windows
Management Instrumentation service, but this action failed with the following
error:
An instance of the service is already running.

-end

This message is recorded in the event viewer, but I also notice other
services have stopped that isn't always recorded in the event viewer. These
services include the following (not limited to): Routing and REmote Access,
Secondary Logon, Task Scheduler, Windows Audio, Wireless Configuration,
Workstation, Automatic Updates, Cryptographic Services, Computer Browser,
Help and Support.

Again, this happens intermittently. In addition, each service I mentioned
is set to Startup Automatically. Rebooting the server does not resolve the
issue. Each time this happens, I must restart the workstation service
(primarily to get folder redirection back for users accessing 'My documents.'

Thank you in advance for your help.

This is very weird.
