  • Windows could not start the FLEXnet Licensing Service service on Local Computer Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.

    Today I installed Adobe Director 11.5. I received a couple of errors in the FLEXnet Licensing Service. It looks It could not start. I tried to download the Licence fix what I found on Google but that doesn't work, so I checked the 'Service' at service (windows).
    It's status is empty. When I double click on the FLEXnet Licensing Service, clicked on start at the opened window and an error is coming: 
    Windows could not start the FLEXnet Licensing Service service on Local Computer
    Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.
    I don't understand what it says with this message, only that it is impossible to start. However, that is not what I am trying of course, I want to start the FLEXnet Licensing Service, service. 
    Re-installing of the software, doesn't make any change. How can I start it so Director is also working?

    The main issue is not related to SQL server .SQL is at receiving end its hardware or the cables ( not sure which one) are the one causing issue.

  • "Windows could not start the offline files service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"

    Using Windows 8.1 Pro on Toshiba Satellite i7 Laptop with 8Gb Ram
    After upgrade from Windows 8 Pro to 8.1 Pro, the Offline Files/CSC service refuses to start and gives the error message:
    "Windows could not start the offline files service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"
    Before the upgrade, offline files worked fine... how do I re-enable offline files?

      I had a similar issue -  couldn't make any files available offline.
    I found that the offline folder service would not start
    This was because the CSC permission were totally screwed.  I had to take ownership of each folder and file, one by one, then grant everyone full access.
    then delete the full contents of the CSC folder
    format the CSC database using the registry fix then reboot
    in control panel, disable the offline files,  reboot, then re-enable.  and now its working :)
    2hrs to resolve this, with grateful thanks to this thread and some others.

  • Could not start the oracle service on local computer

    Could not start the oracle service on local computer, did not return an error blah, blah.
    I am running Oracle 9i r2 Windows, and have choosen to start my instances manually. When i start them up I get the above error message. But if I am a little patient the services do start up and all is fine, so far as i can see anyway.
    I am curious to know why does this error message arise.
    Thanks in anticipation
    Fergus

    To start the database in windows you have to start first the OracleService<SID> service.
    These are the steps that you have to do at the command line:
    NET START OracleService<SID>
    SET ORACLE_SID=<database sid>
    sqlplus /nolog
    conn sys/password as sysdba

  • Windows could not start the distributed transaction coordinator service on local computer

    Dear All,
    I'm having an issue starting the DTC service in windows 7 OS. I always got the error message below when im trying to start it.
    "Windows could not start the distributed transaction coordinator service on local computer"
    Thanks,
    Melvin

    Hi Melvin,
    Please try the following methods to solve this issue:
    Method 1: Re-create the MS DTC log, and then restart the service.
    Click
    Start, type cmd in the search box, and then press
    Enter.
    Type the command
    msdtc -resetlog at the command prompt, and then press
    Enter.
    Warning: The msdtc -resetlog command can cause data corruption if it is used incorrectly. Make sure that you do not have any pending transactions when you run this
    command.
    Type the command net start msdtc, and then press
    Enter.
    Method 2: Set the logon account permissions for the MS DTC service
    If Method 1 does not resolve the problem, set the logon account for the MS DTC service to have read and write permissions for the Msdtc.log file. Please follow the steps below:
    Click
    Start, type cmd in the search box, and then press
    Enter.
    Type the command
    control admintools at the command prompt, and then press
    Enter.
    Double-click
    Services.
    In the Services pane, locate
    Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
    In the
    Log On As column, note the account name.  Note: The default logon account for the MS DTC service is the NETWORK SERVICE account.
    Start Windows Explorer, and
    then open the %windir%\System32\Msdtc folder.
    Right-click the
    Msdtc.log file, and then click Properties.
    Click the
    Security tab.
    Click the logon account name that you noted
    in step 5. For example, click the NETWORK SERVICE account name.
    In the
    Permissions pane, click to select the Allow check box for the following permissions: ◦Read & Execute  
    ◦Read    ◦Write
    Click
    OK.
    Click
    Yes to accept the security warning.
    In the
    Services pane, right-click Distributed Transaction Coordinator, and then click
    Start.
    Method 3: Assign permissions to the NETWORK service to traverse the directory tree
    Determine whether the NETWORK service has permissions to traverse through the folder. To do this, follow these steps.
    Note: By default, the "Everyone" group has these permissions. For more information, go to the following Microsoft TechNet website:
    Bypass traverse checking
    Click
    Start, type secpol.msc in the search box, and then press
    Enter.     
    Browse through the following computer configuration: 
            \Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment 
    Check for "Bypass traverse checking," and then add the "Everyone" group. 
    Update the Group Policy settings on the computer. To do this, click
    Start, type gpupdate in the search box, and then press
    Enter.
    In the
    Services pane, right-click Distributed Transaction Coordinator, and then click
    Start.

    Hi,
    Thank you for the post.
    I fully understand the inconvenience the issue has been caused and the current situation can be frustrating. Please try the following steps for troubleshooting.
    1.    Please start the computer in Safe Mode with Network and check the result. If the issue disappears, please perform a clean boot.
    For the detailed steps, please refer to the step 1 and 2 in the KB article 936214 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936214).
    2.    If the issue persists, please check the system file by using the command SFC /scannow.
    For more information, please refer to the KB article 929833 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833).
    If the above suggestions do not resolve the issue that service fails to start up, please understand that debug and dump analysis may be required for further troubleshooting. Also, in most cases, it is necessary to check the source codes. However, debugging is out of our forum’s support boundary. A support call to our product service team is needed for the debugging service. In this case, I’d like to suggest contacting Microsoft Customer Support Service (CSS) for assistance so that this issue can be resolved efficiently.

  • Windows could not start the DHCP Client service on Local Computer, Error 2

    Hi everyone,
    I assign IP addresses via my router but today installed OpenVPN and it depends on the DHCP Client service. I checked in services and found it wasn't running. If I try starting it I get this message "Windows could not start the DHCP Client
    service on Local Computer." "Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.".
    There's plenty of info out there about this issue but nothing seems to fix it for me. I've tried the following as an administrator,
    "sfc /scannow" - It reported and error which it fixed but after a restart the problem persists.
    "NET  LOCALGROUP   administrators  "NT Authority\Local Service"   /add"
    "netsh winsock reset catalog"
    I also checked that all dependencies of the DHCP Client service are working. I used "CMD /K
    SC QC DHCP" to check the dependencies and compared them to an identical computer and they are. Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Did you mean after the restart the sfc /scannow command still could find the corrupted files?
    Have you check this these related registry entries permission for your account?

  • "could not start the Oracle BI Presentation Server on Local computer error"

    Hello Folks,
    i am trying to start the OBIEE Presentation services, The OBIEE server and Java Host Services are started.
    i am getting this error and i didnt change any settings and finally getting this error
    "Windows could not start the Oracle BI Presentation Server on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Even Log. If this is a non Microsoft service contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code -1."
    thanks

    Here is the solution from another freind
    1. Stop BI Server Service > Start BI Server Service > Start BI Presentation Service. If that doesn't work...
    2. Restart machine and follow step 1. If that doesn't work...
    3. Check instantconfig.ini file and check syntax is correct. Also check java directory path mentioned is the valid one. If that doesn't work...
    4. Rename the catalog folder to something else and follow step 1. It will create new catalog folder. Then copy _Shared from old catalog folder and you are good to go.
    catalog folder will be in oraclebidata/web/catalog...
    either delete the folder and create a new empty one or rename it
    also have a look at instanceconfig.ini file
    thanks

    Just recently, I had a problem with the AVFoundation  thing on my computer. Well I got that fixed, but now it has a message coming up that says " Windows could not start the Bonjour Service service on local computer. Error 3: The system could not find the path specified.

    Windows could not start the Bonjour Service service on local computer. Error 3: The system could not find the path specified.
    That's an unfamiliar one, steve.
    Let's see what happens if we try to start the service manually.
    In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications"
    Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the Window to better see what's going on.)
    Select the Bonjour Service and click "Start".
    Do you get an error message then? If so, what does that one say?

    Dear Technet,
    Windows could not start the Cluster Service on Local computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 2.
    My cluster suddenly went disappear. and tried to restart the cluster service. When trying to restart service this above mention error comes up.
    even i tried to remove the cluster through power-shell still couldn't happen because of cluster service not running.
    Help me please.. thank you.
    Regards
    Shamil

    Hi,
    Could you confirm which account when you start the cluster service? The Cluster service is a service that requires a domain user account.
    The server cluster Setup program changes the local security policy for this account by granting a set of user rights to the account. Additionally, this account is made a member
    of the local Administrators group.
    If one or more of these user rights are missing, the Cluster service may stop immediately during startup or later, depending on when the Cluster service requires the particular
    user right.
    Hope this helps.
