Com Plus Event System Service not starting.?

Question

I have an issue with a Windows Server 2000 (SP4) machine. The Com Plus Event System Service is not starting at startup. According to the event logs It is getting stuck in "starting" mode ant then failing.

How do I reinstall this service or otherwise fix the issue?

Answer 1

did you see this? --> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/819989

i'd try reinstalling sp4 and then, if necessary, review local security policy.

i don't have a win2k box currently, but on winxp, this service is set to logon as 'local system'.

is the machine a domain member?
