Windows update KB2964444 broke Event Logging Service and SQL Agent Service on Windows Server 2008 R2

I got the following problem:
I discovered that on my Windows Server 2008R2 machine the event logging stopped working on 04/May/2014 at 03:15.
Also, SQL Agent Service won't run
The only change that day was security
update KB2964444 - Security
Update for Internet Explorer 11 for Windows Server 2008 R2for x64-based Systems, that was installed exactly 04/May/2014 at 03:00. Apparently, that's what broke my machine...
When I try to start Windows Event Log via net
start eventlog or via Services
panel, I get an error:
C:\Users\Administrator>net start eventlog
The Windows Event Log service is starting.
The Windows Event Log service could not be started.
A system error has occurred.
System error 2 has occurred.
The system cannot find the file specified.
I tried:
restarted the OS (virtual on the host's VMWare).
re-checked the settings in services menu -they are like in the link.
checked the identity in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\eventlog -
the identity is NT
AUTHORITY\LocalService
gave all Authenticated Users full access to C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs
ran fc /scannow - Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
went to the file %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log -
all clean, [SR] Repairing 0 components
EDIT: Uninstalled the recent system updates and rebooted - didn't help
EDIT: Sysinternals Process Monitor results when running start service from services panel (procmon in elevated mode):
filters:
process name is svchost.exe : include
operation contains TCP : exclude
the events captured are:

I also got NAME

the name ServiceDll and
data %SystemRoot%\System32\wevtsvc.dll (copied

I also checked for the presence of wevtsvc.dll in
the place and it's there.
Also, I tried to capture all events with path containing 'event' and
got following events firing every several seconds:

Also, I tried to capture all the events containing 'file',
excluding w3wp.exe,
chrome.exe, wmiprvse.exe, wmtoolsd.exe, System and it shows NO attempts to access any file ih the time I try to start
the event logger (if run from cmd - there are several hits by net executable,
not present if run from the panel).
What can be done?

Hi,
I don’t found the similar issue, if you have the IE 11 please try to update system automatic or install the MS14-029 update.
The related KB:
MS14-029: Security update for Internet Explorer 11 for systems that do not have update 2919355 (for Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2) or update 2929437 (for Windows 7
SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) installed: May 13, 2014

    HI
    the sql instance service is running with domain/sqlservice account , 
    - i stopped the sql service service
    - when i start it not started again and i found below error message
    Domain and account: MOJPORTAL\spsqlservice
    This service account does not have the required user right "Log on as a service."
    User Action
    Assign "Log on as a service" to the service account on this computer. You can use Local Security Settings (Secpol.msc) to do this.
     If this computer is a node in a cluster, check that this user right is assigned to the Cluster service account on all nodes in the cluster.
    If you have already assigned this user right to the service account, and the user right appears to be removed, 
    check with your domain administrator to find out if a Group Policy object associated with this node might be removing the right.

    i updated to ios 5.1.1 and added icloud services. the problem is now whenever i connect my iphone to my PC, itunes does not recognize my phone. i need it to but it just does not connect..

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. Yu can make an appointment at the the Genius Bar of an Apple store or try:

  • Automatically start SQL Agent service after SQL Server service fails and starts.

    Hi! 
    I have SQL Server 2008 R2 with two main services - SQL Server and SQL Agent.
    I'll try to describe my situation. It happens very occasionally, but sometimes SQL Server service terminates unexpectedly. It's my log:
    09/13/2013 10:46:21,Service Control Manager,Error,The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 120000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
    09/13/2013 10:46:21,,Error,[359] The local host server is not running,,,,
    09/13/2013 10:46:22,MSSQLSERVER,Error,The MSSQLSERVER service terminated unexpectedly.,Server,1073760843,,
    09/13/2013 10:46:22,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #1)...,,,,
    09/13/2013 10:46:27,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #2)...,,,,
    09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #3)...,,,,
    09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Error,[140] AutoRestart: The MSSQLSERVER service could not be restarted after 3 attempts,,,,
    09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Warning,[360] SQLServerAgent initiating shutdown following MSSQLSERVER shutdown,,,,
    As you can see, SQL Server service  terminates unexpectedly. Then SQL Agent service tries to start SQL Server service. After unsuccessfully attempts to start SQL Server service, SQL Agent service stops itself. I have the option setting in SQL Server
    service to start itself after unexpectedly stop within 2 minutes and it is works well. But I have to start my SQL Agent service after this manually. Unfortunately, I can't investigate the reason of my SQL Server stops unexpectedly and in this case I just want
    to make the settings to start both of my services SQL Server and SQL Agent automatically after this.  How can I set up this? How can I make my SQL Agent service starts after SQL Server service?

    Hello,
    SQL server agent service depends on SQL server service so unless SQL server service comes online agent will not come online so agent is depended on SQL server not the other wise.
    Now is your server 2008 R2 patched to latest service pack (SP2).If not please upgrade it to latest SP.Some fixes are there in Sp which will subside this issue.Can you paste output of

    Any and every ideas on how to resolve this issue is greatly appreciated.

    Three weeks passed and I am yet to find a fix for the the failed installation of the database engine on sql server 2012 express installation. I have tried various work-around including uninstalling, deleting all the directory paths, and reinstallation. Still
    not able to successfully install sql server 2012 express.
    I will greatly appreciate any and every contribution towards resolving this issue. Thanks in advance.

  • Multiple errors from MsiInstaller with event id 1015 and text "Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005"

    Hi,
    Every night I get a lot of warnings in the event log from MsiInstaller with event ID 1015 and text "Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005". They are always followed by a new event 1035. Example:
    Event 1015, MsiInstaller (Warning)
    Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005
    Event 1035, MsiInstaller (Information)
    Windows Installer reconfigured the product. Product Name: Microsoft Excel Mobile Viewer Components. Product Version: 14.0.4763.1000. Product Language: 0. Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation. Reconfiguration success or error status: 0.
    I probably get around 50 of these each night, and the 1035 events are all related to various SharePoint components. The user in all cases is the sharepoint farm account.
    I use SharePoint 2010 enterprise in a farm install on one virtual server. I have a private domain, and the database is on a separate server.
    Does anyone have any idea why this happens? Other than the error in the event log I cannot see any issues with my installation. I have searched for this error and seen it related to user profile synchronisation, but profile sync is working fine for me. I
    installed using the Technet guide and the user profile sync guide at
    http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2010ups.aspx
    Thanks,
    Mikael

    Hey Trevor. Thanks. I wasn't sure which method it was failing on although I understood it was the Windows Installer Service that was getting called by the job. There are three things that are still interesting to me though:
    The job succeeds anyway. How? Does it just continue to run the rest of its checks but fails on this one? If it doesn't fail on this one, why not? If it does fail here, but then continues, should we be concerned about the quality of the data in Manage Patch
    Status? 
    Or... does it somehow succeed once it uses the DCOM rights which appear to clear the 10016 errors? What I've never been able to reconcile with these warnings is that we've granted DCOM rights to launch and activate the Windows Installer Service and
    that definitely seems to make a difference to success or failure of the job - so why doesn't it clear these warnings? 
    Why does granting the file system permissions clear the FIM version of this job's warnings, but not for the Product Version Job? This is particularly vexing since granting the DCOM rights appears to resolve the 10016 errors in exactly the same manner for
    both jobs. 
    All of this has led me to believe that there were missing permissions somewhere, probably on the file system, but I just haven't had any luck pinning that down. One reason why I continued to pursue a solution to this is that the job doesn't actually try
    to install anything, it's just trying to use the Windows Installer Service to query the installed version, and the DCOM rights should be sufficient to invoke the service. But getting much further than this has proven pretty difficult since I'm not a dev and
    I've kind of pushed my limited reflection skills and understanding of the Windows Installer Service to the limit. If anyone can chip in and make some progress from this point, it'd be great to join forces! 

  • Sharepoint 2013 search error - The search application 'Search Service Application 1' on server is not provisioned.Confirm that the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Timer service and Central Administration service are running on the server.

    Hi All,
    I'm getting the below error in My SHarepoint 2013 search Administration page.
    Crawler background activity - The search application 'Search Service Application 1' on server ""  is not provisioned. Confirm that the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Timer service and Central Administration service are running
    on the server.
    and when i click on Crawl Log and content source
    it throws the below error
    The search service is currently offline. Visit the Services on Server page in SharePoint Central Administration to verify whether
    the service is enabled. This might also be because an indexer move is in progress
    When i check the search status
    Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance, it shows all the components are online.
    As of now search service application is online and search is working.But not sure why it throws the above error.
    I have restarted timer service,search service in services.msc and cleared the sharepoint cache as well.
    But no luck,This is happening in my prodcution environment.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    There are the logs i have found

    I am intalling SQL 2008 standard with SP1 on a Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2.
    I installed as  "local service account" for MSSQLServer (SQL database engine) and SQL agent.
    But I want to change to "service account" as [domain\svc_XXX] for MSSQLserver and SQL agent.
    I add the [domain\svc_XXX]  in local security policy - "Log as a service"
    and also add in SSMS - Security - New Login (windows authentication.
    When I started the MSSQLserver and SQL agent using the [domain\svc_XXX], I got an error 17058.  Initerrlog: could not open error log file."  Operating system error=3 (The system cannot find the path specified).
    I don't know where else to look at..
    Also, how do I find the cumulative service pack for SQL server 2008 standard?
    thanks
    Irene

  • [Forum FAQ] How do I disable all subscriptions without disabling Reporting Services and SQL Server Agent?

    Introduction
    There is the scenario that users configured hundreds of subscriptions for reports. Now they want to disable all the subscriptions, but Reporting Services and SQL Server Agent service should be enable, so the subscriptions will not delivery reports to users
    and users could run the reports and create jobs on the server.
    Solution
    To achieve this requirement, we need to list all subscriptions and their schedules by running query, then use loop statement to disable all the subscription schedules by Job name.
    On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server instance, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.
    Type Server name and select Authentication, click Connect.
    Click New Query in menu to open a new Query Editor window.
    List all subscriptions and their schedules by running the following query:
    Use ReportServer
    go
    SELECT   c.[Name] ReportName,           
    s.ScheduleID JobName,           
    ss.[Description] SubscriptionDescription,           
    ss.DeliveryExtension SubscriptionType,           
    c.[Path] ReportFolderPath,           
    row_number() over(order by s.ScheduleID) as rn             
    into
    #Temp  
    FROM     
    ReportSchedule rs           
    INNER JOIN Schedule s ON rs.ScheduleID = s.ScheduleID           
    INNER JOIN Subscriptions ss ON rs.SubscriptionID = ss.SubscriptionID           
    INNER JOIN [Catalog] c ON rs.ReportID = c.ItemID AND ss.Report_OID = c.ItemID   
    select * from #temp
    Use the loop statement to disable all the subscription schedules by Job name:
    DECLARE
    @count INT,
    @maxCount INT  
    SET @COUNT=1  
    SELECT @maxCount=MAX(RN)
    FROM
    #temp         
    DECLARE
    @job_name VARCHAR(MAX)                  
    WHILE @COUNT <=@maxCount        
    BEGIN      
    SELECT @job_name=jobname FROM #temp WHERE RN=@COUNT  
    exec msdb..sp_update_job @job_name = @job_name,@enabled = 0     
    SET @COUNT=@COUNT+1   P
    RINT @job_name   
    END   
    PRINT @COUNT 
    Reference
    SQL Agent – Disable All Jobs
    Applies to
    Reporting Services 2008

    Thanks,
    Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
    For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
    in a supported way?
    Thanks! Josh

  • Workflows 2013 and SQL Report Services: Configure on Independent Servers or Existing App Servers?

    Currently, my SharePoint 2013 Farm has Workflows 2013 and SQL Report Services installed on app servers, along with other applications. Workflows 2013 isn't working correctly (installed prior to my coming on board with the organization), I'm assuming it
    is a configuration issue, but rather than re-configure, I've read that is recommended to be a standalone server. It was also recommended by a MSFT rep that our report services have its own independent server. Currently, Report Services is also installed on
    an app server that runs other applications on the farm.
    Has anyone had any experience with installing Workflows 2013 and/or SQL Report Services on independent vs. existing application servers?
    Additionally, my existing application servers have 24 GB of RAM (I believe the recommendation for SharePoint production environments is 12 GB), should I plan for the potentially new servers (Workflows and Report Services) to also have 24 GB of RAM? Not really
    sure if it will be needed if they have dedicated tasks.
    Thanks for any input you can provide!

    It entirely depends on load. WFM will work just fine installed on servers in the SharePoint farm. SSRS preferably should go on the end-user facing servers for better performance.
    The questions you're asking are all "it depends" :)

  • What is the different between Sharepoint fast search service and Sql server fulltext search?

    HI ,
    I want to kow what is the different between Sharepoint fast search service and Sql server fulltext search?
    Or Can I abstract the Sharepoint fast search from the Sharepoint platform as a isolate component?
    Thank you.
    James

    They are very, very different beasts.
    Firstly FAST Search for SharePoint is the old name for the product and is only relevant for SharePoint 2010 not 2013. It got merged into the standard SharePoint search for the 2013 release.
    SharePoint search is aimed at providing a Bing or Google like experience for your intranet content, as well as providing some nifty features that are purely SharePoint releated along the way. That means it can crawl SharePoint content, file shares,
    outlook mailboxes, internal and external websites and probably fifty other different things if you really tried. Whilst i'm not an expert on SQL full text search I believe it's intended to provide a search feature for content held within SQL databases
    and tables.
    Can you run SharePoint purely for Search? Yes, definitely.
