System Event ID 129 source vhdmp
Hi All, i have a DC running Windows 2008 R2 and lately i have noticed the errors listed below which are being logged in the system log every 30 seconds! I have Windows Backup scheduled to backup the system state every night at 8pm. Please see below log and
help if you can. This questioned was posted previously but the answer given was to do with Filters in the registry and nothing to do with this particular error. Thank you all in advance.

Hi Mohammed, thanks for replying.
I have looked at both those posts the 1st one from "APLCMUL" only responds to the second potion of the original post which deals with filtering and forgets about the original 129 id.
The second suggestion from "Prem.Kr" has no solution mentioned, Prem.Kr only says he has resolved the issue but does not care to share the solution. if you look at the post right at the bottom from Mark Reynolds touches on Nics of which mine are all up to
date and since its a DC all replication etc is working perfectly well.
Thanks a lot for suggesting the above but for now they have not reslved my issue.

Event 129 Source "storahci" in Win8RTM
I'm having log entries for event id 129 from source "storahci" ("Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued.") in Win 8 RTM Enterprise (MSDN) on a Dell Precision M4500 with SSD OCZ-AGILITY3.
These entries are in correlation with event id 153 from source "disk" ("The IO operation at logical block address ... for Disk 0 was retried.").
I already saw a thread reporting this issue at "http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_cp-performance/windows-8-unresponsive-with-disk-reported-at-100/d4cf6b80-635e-4359-99ec-b9d453e731ee?page=2", but that thread is marked as "closed" with
the remark "This thread applies to Windows 8 Consumer Preview. The thread is locked because the information in it might not be relevant or accurate as new versions of Windows 8 become available."
Was anybody already able to fix that issue?
Since this is the second SSD with that issue (the previous was one from Corsair), I cannot recommend running Windows 8 RTM on a laptop with an SSD installed, what makes me really sad.The BIOS is most likely set to RAID for sata operation. That would require that the Intel RApid Storage drivers from Dell
here for the M4500 be added during a clean installation at the select a partition stage, ADD Drivers and point to the files on external storage media. Win 7 only available at this time from Intel or Dell.
The RTM may not have those in-the-box yet. Intel will provide those to MS later. Win 7 has those.
So, I would say that you could try an F8 repair mode to add drivers or you may have to reinstall again to add the drivers.

Continuous "36888 Schannel Errors" in System Event Log when NOT connected to Internet
We are hoping someone will be able to assist with us this very strange issue please ?
We are using Windows 8.1 x64 Enterprise with Office 2013 and the latest Symantec Endpoint Proctecion v12.1.5 installed. They are managed using SCCM2012 in a large AD domain environment
When our workstations are NOT connected to the internet (only local intranet) the following errors appear in SYSTEM event log almost continuously (several times a minute).
Event ID:36888 User: SYSTEM OpCode:Info Level:Error Source:SChannel
"A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection. The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 70. The Windows Schannel error state is 11."
The process associated with these events is "Local Security Authority Process"
When an internet connection is enabled for these machines these 36888 errors will suddenly stop !.
An event "Error 36887 "A fatal alert was received from the remote endpoint. The TLS protocol defined fatal alert code is 40." Is also occurring on these machines but only occasionally.
As a result, We suspect there must be a process continuously attempting to connect to an internet service and failing ?.
Some of the things we have tried so far;
- We have disabled all non-essential services (e.g. Windows Store Service) one by one but this didn't fix.
- We have tried disabling Tile updates on Start
- We have tried a bunch of different Group Policy settings to disable different combinations of TLS/SSL in IE config.
- We have searched the internet forums and tried some suggested fixes but this combination of error state and error code seems unique ?.
It doesn't happen on our Windows 7 x64 workstations that have much same apps & configuration.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks.Hi Makes006,
This Event ID 36888 occurs if a user tries to access a web site using HTTP but specifies an SSL port in the URL.
We can try clean boot to troubleshoot whether this issue is caused by a third party program .

First of all, forgive me if there is a more appropriate category for this to be posted in. I couldn't think of anything better suited to this exact issue.
On every boot, OS X brings up a standard "Application quit unexpectedly" dialogue for System Events. I can simply close this and disregard it, and it does not affect operation in any way.
However, just recently I have found that when I attempt to launch Adium, the open-source IM client, it hangs for a good deal of time and then brings up the same dialogue. Adium, in the end, is unable to start and must be forcefully terminated.
I was wondering if there might be any relation between the two occurrences. I do not know exactly what System Events is responsible for, and if someone could enlighten me, perhaps I could go about fixing the annoyance at startup, and possibly the problem with Adium at the same time.
Thanks in advance.
Oh, another note: both problems started very recently, at least one of them around the time I updated to 10.4.11.You can certainly remove System Events from Login Items, and I suggest you do. It serves no useful purpose by being launched independently in that way. It will be 'called' (transparently) by an AppleScript (or something similar) as and when needed. The time penalty for it not already running will be indiscernible.
However, sorry to tell you, but removing it as a login item is unlikely to make a scrap of difference to anything. Having System Events made to run in that way is unnecessary but should not be harmful in any way: it just runs consuming no CPU, only being used when 'called' by an app, and it is the app that is doing the calling that I would suspect. Did you also check /Library/StartupItems?
There is the remote (very remote) possibility that System Events.app itself is corrupted. You can easily check that. Launch Script Editor (in /Applications/AppleScript), paste this line:
tell app "System Events" to say "Hello Benjamin"
Hit <Enter>. The line should format (the text will change its appearance) without error; then hit the 'Run' button. If, as I expect, that causes no error, you are condemned to carry on playing "hunt the app".
Does the error message appear when you log into another account? (Create a temporary account if needed, and then delete it). -
My machine got restarted with event 1074 and source user32
Hi Expert,
One of our employee's computer got restarted while working. While checking the event log's under SYSTEM i found only this sustable event for restart.
Event ID - 1074
Source - USer32
The process setup.exe has initiated the restart of computer PTD09487 on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: No title for this reason could be found
Reason Code: 0x2
Shutdown Type: restart
Comment:
1. How can i find out what set.exe was runned or who initiated it ?
2. What does this event id means other than restart ?
3. what more option should i check to know why this restart took place ?
4. If this has happend due to Windows update. How can confirm that there was a message show to user for restart ? Because normally in our GPO we have configured to display restarting msg to user before 30 mins .
Please Let me know if i posted in wrong forum.Hi,
If this situation occur for Windows Update, user will receive a restart message.
If it's not this situation, please create a new user to see if it occur.
If yes, please fix your corrupted user profile:

Hi,
I am looking at monitoring the IDS system events like adding users/sensor application restart,interface down with a SDEE client.Does system events like this get logged in detail to the event store to be picked up by the API ...or is there something i need to do with my CIPS ver 6 to get it across with verbose messages .
Thanks and appreciateSimply go into your IPS and create an "Event Action Filter." Simply modify the source address with that of your scanning system. You can leave the rest pretty much stock or, adjust the destination to the subnet of your DMZ. Also, you'll want to keep an eye on the areas to subtract. Making sure to take away the deny actions, and if necessary, reporting as well.

Applescript's System Events forces Mac OS Roman encoding?
I have written an Applescript which reads the first line of a UTF-8 text file. That string is used to "set value" a particular text area of an IRC client (Textual).
Unfortunately, any characters not native to Mac OS Roman encoding (unicode-only characters, asian-only glyphs) are substituted for Mac OS Roman characters.
For example:
旦 welcome
is written into the text area as:
Êó¶ welcome
How can I force the text back into UTF-8 encoding, or fix this issue?
my script:
set source to "/Users/admin/Documents/file.txt" --UTF-8 file
set N to paragraphs of (read POSIX file source)
set phrase to first item of N
tell application "Textual" --IRC client
activate
tell application "System Events"
delay 0.3
set value of text area 1 of scroll area 1 of window 1 of process "Textual" to phrase
--the main text entry field of this application
keystroke return
end tell
end tellNothing is "forced"; how a file is read is determined by your system's language settings - for English, this is usuallly MacRoman. To read in a different encoding, use the read command's as parameter to specify, for example:
read POSIX file source as «class utf8» -
Windows 8.1 - Windows Couldn't connect to the System Event Notification Service service
I have an issue that has been bothering me for a while on new 8.1 computers. Standard users are not able to log into the computer on the first try consistently. They receive the error message: Group Policy client service failed the sign-in access is
denied. They are stuck at the logon screen.
If an administrator logs in (local or domain), they can log in but get a black desktop with two error messages. The first is Location is Not available - C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable. The second error message is a popup
balloon. It states "Failed to Connect to a Windows service. Windows couldn't connect to the System Event Notification Service service."
When a standard user attempts to log in, event viewer records three warnings. They are listed in order from oldest to newest
The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> was unavailable to handle a critical notification event. -Logged 9:14:44
The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> failed a critical notification event. - Logged 9:14:44
The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> was unavailable to handle a notification event. - Logged 9:14:49
After a reboot, users still have the issue. I noticed that the user profile services and system event notification service are not running though their startup type is automatic. They start after a minute or two.Hi Joseph__Moody,
Based on your description ,I assume it is a domain environment .First of all ,I would suggest you to try to update all the machine .
"I have an issue that has been bothering me for a while on new 8.1 computers"
Do you mean all the Windows 8.1 machine share the same symptom or just a specific one ?Did the machine work correctly before ?When did the issue start to occur ?Have you installed any third party software before ?Can we operate the machine when we login with
an administrator account ?
If the issue occurred with the specific machine :
"The first is Location is Not available - C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable."
Please try the following suggestions if we can operate the machine when we login with the administrator account :
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to: C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile and verify if it has the Desktop folder there.If the folder doesn`t exit, we can copy from C:\users\Default\Desktop location(This folder is hidden by default).
We also can try the following suggestions to have a troubleshoot :
1.Run "sfc /scannow"or "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" to check the health of the system files.
2.Perform a full scan with an antivirus software.
3."They start after a minute or two."
I suspect there is a third party service confilct here. Please perform a clean boot to verify whether there is a third party conflict here .

If the issue occurred with multiple machines in the domian ,I would suggest you to check whether you have configured any logon scripts and logon group policy .We can remove the machine from the domain to have a troubleshoot .
If the issue occurred recently ,we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous normal point.

i have a backup and sychronizing program called Synk that is currently unscriptable. I want to set up folder action so that when i plug various drives in this program opens the correct backup files and the program.
So far i have managed to get the program to open and i have managed to get the open dialog box up, i have also managed to get it to click the right button to start the process. Where this fails is when selecting the correct backup file. The open dialog box appears and i can see which one i want it to select, but i am unsure of how i get system events to select a specified item from the open dialog box. It also fails to initalize when the drive is inserted.
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
if (added_items as string) contains "Humphrey" then
--set bup to file "Humphrey To University.sknd" of folder "Backup documents" of folder "documents" of "home"
tell application "Synk"
activate
tell application "System Events"
key code 31 using {command down}
-- open bup
-- (click the radio button "Open" of window) open
tell process "Synk"
click the button "Run" of the front window
end tell
end tell
end tell
end if
end adding folder items to
RichRichard,
Does this help:
tell app "Finder" to open file "Humphrey To University.sknd" of folder "Backup documents" of folder "documents" of "home"
It should open Synk for you with the target settings file.

The question is: can I develop a java program that can control system events of a windows environment? For example a program to shut down the computer, log off or open and close windows applications?
If so, how can i do that??
please help me. Your help is appreciated in advance.
thanks.

Hi, my system runs on windows 8 on hp laptop envy series. All of a sudden, system event log on service stopped, errors which prevented the system to log on services. It displayed error of STOP 0xC000021A when i use system restore to roll back to previous
configuration. Also when I tried to refresh my pc, it says i can't do changes as log in was switched to prevent the changes by notification.I don't know what to do next, I tried to put recovery dvds which I made when system was bought, now not at all working.
Internet is not active, not able to resolve by trouble shooting and system taking lot of time to get dsktop. Previously I used to get my desktop in 10 seconds. Now its 10 min. May be I m infected with virus. My files, they are there. I tried to transfer some
files by pendrive to another system, now the new system(where i put my files in another system) crashed, windows 7 system which does not display desktop, icons etc and not at all workable.
Also in my hp system, i m unable to open control panel. if its opened, it will not go off, when i use task manager, it says explorer and shuts down. I had to force restart the system. Please resolve something to get my hp laptop workable. I m waiting for
my MS thesis to be working on that. My files are locked and no way to transfer, I fear of infected by virus to another computer also.
Pls give instructions to hw to set my hp laptop at the earliest without losing any of the files. Idon't want to reinstall and lose all the data for timebeing. Else, inform me the option for copying data safely. I tried to change the adv startup and recovery
by changing the boot sequence by DVD but this also shows error 0xC000021A and asks us to see the details. I didn't understand all this. Pls help asap.
Thanks

If you can boot either from the win 8 dvd or in safe mode we need the DMP files
We do need the actual DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.
WE NEED AT LEAST TWO DMP FILES TO SPOT TRENDS AND CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS.
Please follow our instructions for finding and uploading the files we need to help you fix your computer. They can be found here

System Events not working correctly with Acrobat Professional
Hey Guys, I have a script that I have written that automatically enables security settings on a PDF through Acrobat Professional. Because of Acrobats poor scriptability I am forced into doing much though System Events.
This is not a major problem... however when activating some settings in the security settings, often warning Alert dialog boxes appear when you tell System Events to enable particular settings. These Alerts do not have a title... The only way I have been able to get the script to deal with them is with the following code:
if title of front window is "" then
tell front window
click button "OK"
end tell
end if
I guess this is an ok solution... bit hard to identify windows when they don't have titles...
BUT this is not my main problem. The main problem is that the script gets to one of these alert dialog boxes and just sits there... It sits there for like 10 seconds and then it performs the "click button "OK"" command.
This is a problem as there are like 3 of these instances and it really adds up. Can anybody help me... I am using Acrobat Professional 8.2.0 and the entire code is:
tell application "System Events"
try
tell process "Acrobat"
-- Enable security settings
click menu item "Properties..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
tell window "Document Properties"
tell tab group 1
click radio button "Security"
tell group "Document Security"
click pop up button 1
click menu item 2 of menu 1 of pop up button 1
end tell
end tell
end tell
tell window "Password Security - Settings"
click pop up button 1
click menu item 4 of menu 1 of pop up button 1
tell group "Permissions"
click checkbox "Restrict editing and printing of the document. A password will be required in order to change these permission settings."
click text field 1
keystroke pdfPassword
click pop up button 1
click menu item 2 of menu 1 of pop up button 1
click pop up button 2
click menu item 4 of menu 1 of pop up button 2
end tell
click button "OK"
end tell
if title of front window is "" then
tell front window
click checkbox 1
click button "OK"
end tell
end if
tell window "Adobe Acrobat - Confirm Permissions Password"
click text field 1
keystroke pdfPassword
click button "OK"
end tell
if title of front window is "" then
tell front window
click checkbox 1
click button "OK"
end tell
end if
tell window "Document Properties"
click button "OK"
end tell
end tell
on error
display alert "System Events was unable to Enable Commenting. This may be because Acrobat has modified its menu system. Please contact your system administrator."
end try
end tell
A delay does not work... its like as soon as I click the "OK" button it stalls for 10 seconds or does not know that is meant to continue... because I did this:
tell window "Password Security - Settings"
click button "OK"
end tell
beep
In this situation it still takes like 10 seconds for the beep to occur after the click button "OK" command.Hey Guys, I have a script that I have written that automatically enables security settings on a PDF through Acrobat Professional.

I guess this is an ok solution... bit hard to identify windows when they don't have titles...
BUT this is not my main problem. The main problem is that the script gets to one of these alert dialog boxes and just sits there... It sits there for like 10 seconds and then it performs the "click button "OK"" command.
This is a problem as there are like 3 of these instances and it really adds up. Can anybody help me... I am using Acrobat Professional 8.2.0 and the entire code is:
tell application "System Events"
try
tell process "Acrobat"
-- Enable security settings
click menu item "Properties..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
tell window "Document Properties"
tell tab group 1
click radio button "Security"
tell group "Document Security"
click pop up button 1
click menu item 2 of menu 1 of pop up button 1
end tell
end tell
end tell
tell window "Password Security - Settings"
click pop up button 1
click menu item 4 of menu 1 of pop up button 1
tell group "Permissions"
click checkbox "Restrict editing and printing of the document. A password will be required in order to change these permission settings."
click text field 1
keystroke pdfPassword
click pop up button 1
click menu item 2 of menu 1 of pop up button 1
click pop up button 2
click menu item 4 of menu 1 of pop up button 2
end tell
click button "OK"
end tell
if title of front window is "" then
tell front window
click checkbox 1
click button "OK"
end tell
end if
tell window "Adobe Acrobat - Confirm Permissions Password"
click text field 1
keystroke pdfPassword
click button "OK"
end tell
if title of front window is "" then
tell front window
click checkbox 1
click button "OK"
end tell
end if
tell window "Document Properties"
click button "OK"
end tell
end tell
on error
display alert "System Events was unable to Enable Commenting. This may be because Acrobat has modified its menu system. Please contact your system administrator."
end try
end tell
A delay does not work... its like as soon as I click the "OK" button it stalls for 10 seconds or does not know that is meant to continue... because I did this:
tell window "Password Security - Settings"
click button "OK"
end tell
beep
In this situation it still takes like 10 seconds for the beep to occur after the click button "OK" command.
