Messenger Service will not start on Windows 2000 Server

Tags: error, messenger, service
When booting up a Windows 2000 Server, the Messenger Service will not start.

In Event Viewer, I receive the following message:

Source:  Service Control Manager
Event ID:  7024

The Messenger service terminated with service-specific error 2119.


The server is completely patched and is using SP3.

Any ideas?

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

On Win2K SP4 server, I was able to run NBTSTAT -R and NBTSTAT -RR. plus ipconfig /flushdns to clear this issue and start the Messenger service again.
