Some idea ?

Hello,
Has anything been found out about this? We're running into the same issue except that it's logging every 30 seconds.
Here's some info from the machines and when it's occurring:
It only occurs when someone is connected to the machine through Remote Desktop.
The machines are Amazon EC2 instances.
Seems to only happen on machines that are connecting to RODC's.
Machines have limited connection to RODC's through security groups (machine based firewalls).
They are Windows Server 2012 instances, small and medium instance types. (See instance type details here: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/instance-details/)
Little or no extra software installed. These were spun up from a basic WS2012 image and it started occurring shortly after. There are other machines launched from the same image that do not have this issue.
There are also some other machines connecting to the same RODC's with the same security group (firewall) settings that are not experiencing this issue.
We are just using the standard Remote Desktop, not the 2012 Remote Desktop Services. We have tried to install this but the install always fails. See: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/3ab983ce-9290-49ec-81e6-a3adf34cb8b2/remote-desktop-services-failed-on-windows-2012-server-amazon-vpc-ec2
The machines (the ones having this issue as well as the ones that do not have it) all have the exact same Windows updates installed.
Here is the detail of the event:
NOTE: Every 30 seconds it logs this exact message - entered the RUNNING state. I do not see other messages stating it entered the Stopped state.

Continuous "The Software Protection service has completed licensing status check" messages

I have one client machine that gets these messages about 5 separate times when launching a Office 2010 application.
Event ID: 1003 The Software Protection service has completed licensing status check.
From what I've seen this relates to a KMS server activation. We do not use a KMS server, and have a valid MAK activation code that is used throughout the organization. It is valid and I've even used the Volume Activation Management Tool to reinstall the key
to the computer and make sure it is activated. I've also done a repair of office and had no luck. Any ideas?

Hi
Check if ospp service is on or off.
Win+Run --> services.msc --> (scroll down and locate OSPP service)

Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application - multiple copies of Office 2013 x32 failing to start, Software Protection Service timing out

We're experiencing a growing problem with our users in several different domains running in to Microsoft Office 2013 x32 'activation' issues. We use KMS for licensing, which works properly, but some of the machines (~20-30 out of 1000+) sporadically
throw the following error:
'Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application. Microsoft Office will now exit.'
We know it's not an issue with the licenses per se, since they work on and off and we can force KMS activation correctly / talk to the KMS servers.
It appears to be an issue with the Software Protection service not starting properly. In Event Viewer, we see the following:
'Software protection service failed to start due to the following error- the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
Event 7000'
This is occurring on a variety of machines in a variety of environments, all fully patched with the latest Office updates. It's inconsistent, and the 'manually restart the Software Protection Service' solution is not viable as it's occurring on many
different workstations. Office repairs have also been unsuccessful.
Has anyone else come across this? Or have any idea why the Software Protection Service might be sporadically failing? Maybe an Office update in the last 2-3 months?
Thanks for any info.

Excel Crashes every time Software Protection Service initialises.

Hello,
I was wondering if I could get some help. I have an issue whereby Excel 2013 seems to crash what seems like randomly, however when I look in the event log it seems to be every time the Software Protection Service initialises while Excel is running.
I have never seen this happen myself, as it's one of my clients machines, but can confirm each time he says it happens in the event viewer.
If you look in the event logs, you have events in this order:

(apologies, I can't add screenshots until my account is verified)
As a test, I disabled Software Protection Service temporarily and this seemed to resolve the issue, until we reactivated windows and the service resumed it's duty.

Hi Jamie,
Does this only happen to Excel 2013? What about other Office applications?
Office Software Protection Platform Service is responsible for the verification of your Office licensce, please first check the activation status of your Office installation.
Since you've mentioned that "disabled Software Protection Service temporarily and this seemed to resolve the issue", I would also suggest we first try below steps and see if issue persists:
Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform and rename
tokens.dat to tokens.old.
Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\Cache
and rename cache.dat to cache.old
Restart your computer, then launch excel and check again.
Please feel free to post back with any findings.

SRV2008R2 SP1: Software Protection Service failed to start. RDP not working

Hi folks,
I'm currently working on an issue on a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V Host where RDP from one moment tio the other does not work anymore.
After an investigation I found that the Software Protection Service can't be started. The following events are recorded every few minutes:
Event ID: 1001 - The Software Protection service failed to start. 0x80070002. 6.1.7601.17514
Event ID: 7023 - The Software Protection service terminated with the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
I searched and found a lot of possible solutions which are shortly listed below:
I have confirmed that the sppsvc.exe file exists and has the proper permissions. Also replaced the file with the same file from another 2008R2 server
Checked the spldr start value via HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\spldr. This is 0 which should be fine.
Checked the sppsvc paths and settings via HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\sppsvc. All are correct.
SFC /Scannow + CHKDSK /r
System restore is (off course) not available
Tried to reactivate the server by recording a different product key. Did not work.
Removed the last batch of Windows Updates that were pushed towards the host. We believed it was caused by this but since you don't always need a host but only the VM's hosted on it it was a while ago since we logged in.
Local firewall enabled and disabled. Also
Netstat does not show any listening ports for RDP (3389)
Changed the port to 3390 but this port is not visible as well
Also RDP from the affected machine to localhost does not work
Since I can't find any more options in fixing this issue I'm wondering if someone else has some ideas which I can try. Otherwise a reinstall needs to be done.
Hope to hear from you

Hi,
Based on your description, I noticed that you have tried lots of ways to solve this issue. On current situation,
would you please let me confirm more details?
Type services.msc in RUN to open Services. Then navigate to Software Protection service. If start it manually, what error message will get?
I’m not sure if RDP issue was caused by the Software Protection service. So, would you please let me know the complete error message when RDP didn’t work? Meanwhile, please
open Event Viewer and follow the path: Applications and Services Logs-> Microsoft-> Windows-> TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager and TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager. Please check if can find more clues. Those may help us to go further analyze
RDP issue.
Please
perform a clean boot and check if this issue still exists.
If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Software Protection service at Windows Server 2012

Hello
I've faced the issue with Software Protection service. The service is not able to start from Task Scheduler. When I try to run it manually it fails to start to. I found the theoretical solution at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3033200 but it doesn't
work for me. I was mange to start the Software Protection service when I add a user NETWORK SERVICE with Full Control to the C:\Windows\System32 and I allow inheritence of subfolders and files. It would be the great news but our AD policy deletes the NETWORK
SERVICE and the issue occurs again causes for eg. issue with Windows Activation or installation of the Desktop Expirience feature. Is there any other soultion to fix it without adding the NETWORK SERVICE to the system32 directory?

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
What is the error when you try to start the service, access denied?
You could use ICACLS to reset permissions.

Windows service entered the stopped state

hello,
my windows service running on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 stopps two or three times per month undefined with the Event ID 7036 : service entered the stopped state. 10 mins later it starts again alone: service entered the running state.
What I also see is that some other services enter in the stopped state and then enter the running state: with Event ID 7036, but more frequently, means several times per day:
SoftwareProtectionService
WindowsModuleInstaller
ApplicationExperience
WMI Performance Adapter
Portable Device Enumerator Service
What is the problem here, I could not find any solution yet.
thx

Hi,
Sometimes services are started only when they are needed. Most services you listed are Manual in startup type which means they will be started manually when it is needed.
Also if you disable a service manually, dependency services will also be stopped.
Here are 2 threads which mentioned 2 services in your list and they are also start/stop even 10 minutes.

My KMS server is running on Windows Server 2012 R2 and activated by Server 2012 KMS Key.
I would like to use the KMS server to activate many Windows 2008 R2 server, however, Error message "0xC004F050 The software licensing service reported that the product key is invalid" is appear when adding Windows Server 2008R2 KMS Key. The Windows

Anyone can help? thanks.

Hi Samson,
Based on my research, we need to choose associated KMS key based on the highest product being deployed in the product grouping hierarchy.
To choose the right Volume License key, please refer to this article:
How to Choose the Right Volume License Key for Windows
Please type the cmd "slmgr /dlv" on KMS Host and check if it has been activated successfully.
After configure KMS host, By default these KMS client computers will query DNS and locate your KMS host and activate
KMS Client Setup Keys
To reset computers to be KMS clients type the following at elevated command prompt:
Slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
Where xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx is the generic VL key from the following link.

Should using the software update service be faster for the clients then downloading from apple?

I've got about 25 clients, a mixture of Snow Leopard and Lion systems in the office. I've recently turned on the Software update service on my snow leopard server (10.6.8, mac mini) and have a transparent server setup for the software updates service (dns redirects through the mini). All the machines see the mini and I believe they are pulling updates from it when the client runs their software update. I haven't noticed any real speed differnce though from pulling updates from the mini vs pulling from apple (though I have noticed less internet congestion).
Should this be faster because it's a local network transfer or not?
Thanks!

I'm a little concerned by the statement:
dns redirects through the mini
Are you saying you're masking Apple's DNS so that requests for swupdate.apple.com end up on your machine? That's the wrong approach. You should be setting the client's preferences to load from your server instead of Apple's.
In either case, there are three components to running Software Updaate.
1: download the catalog of available updates and compare what's installed to the list to identify which updates are needed
2: download the appropriate updates
3: install the updates.
Of the three steps, downloading the catalog is a lightweight process - the index is only a few hundred KB, so the difference in loading this from your server vs. Apple's is minimal. Additionally, this won't make any difference in the amount of time it takes the client to scan for which updates are needed since that's all work performed locally on the machine.
The only step that will be significantly faster is the actual downloading of available updates. These should happen at LAN speeds, rather than your internet connection speed (which is, presumably, slower), but then again, most updates are fairly small - a few megabytes is typical.
However, if no updates are available, or if they're only small, you won't see much difference in time between local and remote. The main advantage of using a local software update server is that you only need to download the updates from Apple once, rather than once per client.

What are the differences between the Caching and the Software Update Services

New to working with OS X Server and am confused about the differences between the Caching Service and the Software Update Service...it seems to me that they overlap in that i) the Caching Service updates OS X software, iOS software and any apps purchased from the app store while ii) the Software Update service updates OS X software.
If the above is correct they why would one run both Services? I would think that one would run the Caching Service and call it a day!
And while on the subject, what about caching and pushing third party apps like MS Office?

Linc Davis wrote:
The simple answer is that you almost certainly don't need the Software Update service. Just use the Caching service. Neither one works with content that doesn't come from Apple.
Appreciate the response but could you please explain the difference between the two as that is the one item that remains unanswered.
Thanks,
Joel

Report Subscription by email error - The SQL Agent service is not running

Hello All,
This may be an easy answer, so please excuse my ignorance if I am overlooking something simple. I a simply trying to setup Report Subscriptions to be emailed to me. We currently have essentially 3 servers in use in our environment - a CAS, a Site server
and a SQL 2012.
I have configured the email settings in Reporting Services Configuration Manager on the Site server and was finally able to see the email option in the Create Subscription Wizard, but it errors out with:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The SQL Agent service is not running. This operation requires the SQL Agent service. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.SchedulerNotRespondingException: The SQL Agent service is not running.
This operation requires the SQL Agent service. at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ReportingService2005Impl.CreateSubscription(String Report, ExtensionSettings ExtensionSettings, Boolean isDataDriven, DataRetrievalPlan DataRetrievalPlan, String
Description, String EventType, String MatchData, ParameterValueOrFieldReference[] Parameters, Guid batchId, String& SubscriptionID) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2005.CreateSubscription(String Report, ExtensionSettings
ExtensionSettings, String Description, String EventType, String MatchData, ParameterValue[] Parameters, String& SubscriptionID)
We do not have SQL installed locally, therefore it makes sense that the Agent service is not running. How do I subscribe to alerts in SCCM without a local installation of SQL?
-Brad

I am positive - see screenshots below of services on the SQL server:
Yes, reports work perfectly otherwise... Just cannot subscribe.

How do I update from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to a later version? The software I'm trying to run indicated I needed MAC OS X 10.7 or later.

How do I update from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to a later version? The software I'm trying to run indicated I needed MAC OS X 10.7 or later.

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
