Failed to set the EventLog source

Question

Hi all,
I have encountered the following problem. During installation DS 5.2 on Windows 2000 I got message from installer: "Failed to set the EventLog source", but installaion continued. It looks that DS is installed, but I cannot start slapd and I can see the same message.
Thanks for any help

Thank Mayank for your reply
I'm not clear about the concept of "directory server instance name "
and I list the information to u:
Server Console Login Dialog:
User ID: cn=directory manager
Administration URL: http://xxx.com:40001
Information below is from Server Console:
Directory Server(xxx) (whole computer name is xxx.com)
Server name: Directory Server(xxx)
product name: Directory Server
Version: 5.2_Pathc_4
Build number:2005.230.0301
Security level:domestic
Server status: Started
Port:40000
Administration Server
Server name: Administration Server
Product name:Administration Server
Version:5.2.4
Build number:2005.206.2139
Security level:domestic
Server status: Started
Port:40001
and it can work on my machine(windows xp with sp2), but can't on that Server(windows 2003 with sp1), and Both are using default setting when setting up the Directory.
thanks ,
