Re: Question on event log errors

Also forgot to mention when these errors occur, often the event log will get
cleared out and erased by the system. I have the error message at the
office, basically gives you an error on screen that the file located in
windows/config/system.evt cannot be written to and will be lost, consider
moving the file... something along those lines.

It does this on both servers. Also seen messages about not being to do a
read-write to a certain directory. Event 2019 that relates to non-paged pool
memory and WaitForMultipleObjects warnings.

The hard drives are in a raid 1.

Not sure if someone can help me out with this, but wanted to ask.

We have 2 servers (HP ML350 G3) running server 2003 with sp2. About 5
days
apart, both started to fail and have issues at the same time, identical
errors in the event log.

The main system errors are event id 333 (An I/O operation initiated by the
Registry failed unrecoverably. The Registry could not read in or write out
or
flush one of the files that contain the system's image of the Registry)
and
event id 773 Server Agents.

There also will be some warning at the same time in the application log
related to prefdisk, which is weird because we don't track counters. From
what I can tell the hard drives are both fine, chkdsk doesn't produce any
errors.

The hardware of these 2 servers are identical. The don't have all the
same
applications. We tried to uninstall the symantec antivirus, updated all
the
drivers and firmware on the servers, and the bios. I do not know if it's
a
hardware or application issue. They happened a few days apart, which is
weird.

Our hardware vendor can't seem to figure out what is wrong and I spent
many
hours researching online without much luck.

Looking for any ideas or suggestions. It's hard to imagine two pieces of
hardware on 2 servers would fail at the same time. I am a bit lost on
this
one.
