Question

Event ID 4356

Asked by: tallguy43

I've been all over the internet looking for a solution to this one.  I have a Win XP laptop client that throws this error whenever I boot it to the network.  It looks like the Offline Files are attempting to connect before the client is fully authenticated on the network.  Is there any way around this???

Please don't tell me to unregister Mobsync.dll.  I rely on being able to access certain network files when I travel, so this is not an option.

I've seen similar issues when the network driver loads late in the boot sequence and throws off dependencies of other drivers or kernel stuff that needs the network to be running first.  You might be able to create dependencies on certain services so they wait for the network driver to be up before those services launch.

IT-Monkey-Dave:

I've tried that general approach, but no-dice as of yet.  I've seen suggestions that the network driver is loading before plug-n-play service (IOW's the network card ain't active yet).

 

by: IT-Monkey-DavePosted on 2009-06-09 at 16:27:59ID: 24586827

This is a shot in the dark but you might try uninstalling the network card driver and reinstalling it from scratch.  Might change the load order around enough to "fix" the problem.  Plug-and-play service seems to have no dependecies, but a lot of other stuff requires PNP to be running first.

Hope that helps.

I unloaded the existing WLAN driver then uploaded the latest driver from the manufacturers website, but I am still logging event id 4356.  I agree that it was worth a shot.  I've seen drivers do this kind of thing before.

I've come across another problem that might be related.  In experimenting with ways to isolate my earlier problem with this same Win XP client computer,  I found that cannot open Component Services.  It crashes consistently.  COM+ Event System starts and runs normally; I just can't open Component Services to do any edits.

Could be a separate issue, but I've learned that on systems that are otherwise trouble-free that coincidences are rare.

The Error shows in a popup window and reads:

"An error occurred while processing the last operation.
Error Code 80080005 - The server execution failed.
The event log may contain additional information."

OK.  Fixed the problem with MSDTC according to the following solution:

http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Windows/XP/Q_23799074.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+80080005+error

... but still dealing with the Event ID 4356 errors.

 

by: tallguy43Posted on 2009-06-11 at 15:24:04ID: 24607485

OK. I think that I fixed my "4356 Mobsync Problem".  

For the heck of it I tried to unregister the mobsync.dll.  

1)  Regsvr32 "%Systemroot%\system32\mobsync.dll" /u
2)  Then... this is key... restart the computer.
3) Re-register the mobsync.dll --  Regsvr32 "%systemroot%\system32\mobsync.dll"

I should note that I had tried this before without success, but I had omitted Step Number 2.

My Win XP laptop is a member of a Domain.  This may be why I was having the problem in the first place.  I was logging into the Domain.  This may not be a problem for those with Win XP computers that are not domain members or for those not using Offline Files.

I was just about to advise you to unregister mobsync.dll......
Wouldn't have restarted, will now though. :)

I found more info on the problem here:
