JSI Tip 0555 - System event log has ID 7009 and ID 7000?
June 2, 1998
If you monitor the event logs on your network, you may notice that the System event log on a Workstation (or Server) contains:
ID 7009 Timeout (120000 milliseconds) waiting for service to connect.
ID 7000 The service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
This combination of errors is generally caused by a user who can't make up their mind.
The user starts to logon and immediatly logs off. If a service is configured to interact with the desktop, it may fail to start. The user receives:
The application failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down.
When they logon again, the Service Control Manager (SCM) logs the two events in the system event log.
