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.

Thank you!

Symantec AntiVirus server will not start

Asked by bertster in Symantec Anti-Virus Software

Tags: Symantec, Anti-Virus Corporate Edition v8.1, 8.1

Hi,
I have a Windows 2000 server, SP4 which is running Symantec AntiVirus Corporate edition version 8.1 Recently the definition files have stopped updating and upon further examination the Symantec AntiVirus service will not start, it gives the following error - Could not start the Antivirus Server service on local computer. Error 10: the environment is incorrect.  

I have downloaded the intelligent updater and installed the update without success. I have also uninstalled and the full product (and removed all registry entries & folders as indicated on the manual removal instruction). However now on the re-install the Symantec AntiVirus Server service will not start. (same error as detailed above - Error 10). It also will not install the AV server software as all is rolled back out automatically because it cant start the AV Server Service.

I know that its not a definitions problem due to there being no definitions as its a clean install.
The other error that appears in the event logs is:

Product: Symantec AntiVirus Server -- Error 1920.Service Symantec AntiVirus Server (Norton AntiVirus Server) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

All the security settings on the folders indicated by symantec are correct, so I'm now at a loss of what to do next.

help you guys can help!
