MSFTPSVC won't start - Unexpected Error occured

Asked by dcordonier in FTP Servers, Microsoft IIS Web Server, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: Microsoft, Windows Server, 2003, FTP Service, Unexpected Error 0x8ffe2740 occured

I have a Windows 2003 server, that is used for various applications (SQL, Exchange, Webserver) including FTP.   I tried accessing our FTP site this morning and I am unable to connect, so I checked the server and the FTP Service has stopped.  When I try to start the FTP site in IIS I get the error message "Unexpected error 0x8ffe2740 occured"   The event log has the following message:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure when this started happening, I last used the FTP site a month ago and it appeared to be working fine.  As far as I know, nothing has changed.    I have tried rebooting the server and the error still occurs after the reboot.    Any ideas on what is causing this error or where to start looking?

 If you require more information about the server, just ask.  Thanks!Start Free Trial
