This evidently is not a common error. I've searched quit a bit for this error. Of course, I'm willing to give any other pertinent information needed.

Thanks!

No, this response is not related to my issue.

Service Control Manager, I see, can be related to the 7001 ID, however, it's directly related to the remote file storage service. I don't currently have any reason to use this service. I'm running Veritas to backup files on a network drive. The backups are working perfectly. Should I just stop these services? Will it cause major issues if I did? Don't know, not willing to try unless I get possitive response that I can. This server is on a small network that supports 9 users and is there only server. It's also the exchange server. I'll be more willing to take the risk during the weekend.

OK...I failed to mention I have to manually start the service and it seems to work fine. I figure I can put a script in the startup folder as a temporary fix. I'll test it the next few days.

Gareth Gudger

You said you need to manually start the service? It is on automatic startup right?

bejayr

ASKER

Yes it is set to automatic. However it doesn't start on its own. I have to start it manually....

Gareth Gudger

I wonder if this will fix it.....

I set the recover parameter to 5 minutes. I'll test it the next few days. Thanks!

iD,

It seems your answer fixed my problem. Setting the params to restart the service after 5 minutes did the trick. It was a dependency issue.

Thanks!
