Why are some errors “unexpected”? What is Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)? What is a shadow copy? |

(Last update 4/28/2009): I got this together with event id 333 from Application Popup. I resolved it by using Symantec Document ID 302192. Mihai Andrei (Last update 8/4/2007): - Error code: 0x80040154 - See M940032. - Error code: 0x80004002 - See M940032. - Error code: 0x80040206 - See M916254 and "JSI Tip 7193". Sam Prince (Last update 3/24/2007): - Error code: 0x80070422 - This event can occur (with this error code) if the Volume Shadow Copy service has been disabled. In our case, it occurred with Event ID 11 from source VSS. Adrian Grigorof (Last update 8/7/2006): Re-registering the Shadow Copy dlls may help - see the link to Volume Shadow Copy Service and DLLs. Maverick (Last update 5/4/2006): I was getting this error, alongside with others bound to COM+ subsystems, on a DC (W2K3 stand-alone), and even reinstalling COM+ did not help. The case became clear after checking the permissions on the %systemroot%\registration directory. Setting permissions to Administrators : Full and System : Full and re-registering COM+ set all the things right. Why bother deciphering Event logs when GFI EventsManager can do everything for you? Free trial here! Larry Woods (Last update 2/16/2006): I was getting this error in conjunction with event IDs 7001, 7023, 10010, 12292, and 5013. All events were due to COM+ applications not being available. I followed the instructions in M301919 to resolve the problem. When reinstalling COM+ I had to obtain es.dll from a similar machine and place it in C:\Windows\System32. PaulD (Last update 12/14/2005): See Veritas Support Document ID: 272814 if VERITAS software is installed. Anonymous (Last update 1/28/2005): I fixed this problem by installing MSXML 3.0 and MSXML 4.0. Ionut Marin (Last update 9/25/2004): - Error code: 0x8007043C - From a newsgroup post: "These events are benign and you can ignore them, unfortunately, they will always appear whenever you reboot the machine in Safe Mode. We plan to fix this bug for future versions of Windows (it is already fixed in Windows Server 2003)". - Error code: 0x80040154 (Error code 0x80040154) - From a newsgroup post: "This error means that the COM+ Admin catalog was not installed correctly on your machine. This problem is unrelated with VSS. The only way to fix this would be either to re-register the COM+ infrastructure, or to re-run the Windows Setup. M246499 mentions a method for re-registering COM+ on your machine. This is for Windows 2000". - Error code: 0x800700ea - See M833167. - Error code: 0x80070057 - See M833167. As per Microsoft: "This informational event is logged when the system starts in Safe Mode on a computer running Windows XP because COM+ is not enabled in Safe Mode or, occasionally, when antivirus and indexing programs open temporary files used by backup programs during backup. This message also appears if there is a problem in the COM+ infrastructure, such as when the COM+ services are disabled or not registered correctly, or when a program such as FORMAT, CHKDSK, or Logical Disk Management opens a volume with an exclusive lock and the Volume Shadow Copy service cannot create a shadow copy". See MSW2KDB for more details. From a newsgroup post: "It appears that the COM+ subsystem is not correctly installed on your machine. This causes failures in VSS. You might try the steps in M315296 to reinstall COM+. Please do not disable the COM+ Event System or Volume Shadow Copy Service; this will not fix the real problem". Adrian Florin Moisei From a Microsoft support person (from a newsgroup post): "If the events occurred on a machine that was running in Safe Mode, these events are benign and you can ignore them - unfortunately they will always appear whenever you reboot the machine in Safe Mode. We plan to fix this bug for future versions of Windows (it is already fixed in Windows Server 2003)." |
