Yes, I know - On the one hand I'm sorry, on the other I'm not.
There is a saying: "The really nice thing about politicians, is that you can
instantly see when they are lying. It's when they move their lips!"
In the same way, the nice thing about Services failing is that they almost
invariably leave a message in Event Viewer, not every error will appear
there but a Service error surely will, and that very nearly every single one
of them are mentioned in the KnowledgeBase. Somewhere!
Going there, is IT archeology, you look for something - anything that rings
a bell (however vague) that resembles something that resembles something
else wich you also are employing, although you may not be aware of it.
That's the archeology part of it, you don't know what you are looking for.
Often, the info is so vague you cannot extract anything useful, so the NG's
are a good resource - personally, I have done a lot of re-formating in my
day but I have never come across this message, or anything that resembles
it. If I'm not mistaken, somewhere in there amoung the chaos there was some
mentioning of Telephony Services, since you probably don't have any SQL
perhaps this litterally rings the proverbial bell? But there is lots more
where that came from. Actually, the DTC may well only be a symptom - the
error you are trying to solve may be something entirely different, your LAN
perhaps?
I can really recommend getting to know the KB, it is chaotic since it lists
everything under the sun, but sometimes it's the only resource that will set
you off to what is mostly Serendipity anyway. The valuable part of
Serendipity is that you can only find something if you are looking for
something, and it doesn't matter what you are looking for. The activity of
searching is a platform for finding and if you find it, you will not forget
about it in many a good day.
Don't judge me too harshly.
