&quot;It's based upon the design of the application&quot; - This is something I didn't know, so theoretically there could be services that fail and would never report to the event log?<br />
more details: we use an ident daemon to authenticate users that have access to the proxy server. That old service identd does its job, but occasionally reports failures, although it is always running and internet access works. Since we do event log monitoring, I get an e-mail for every failure. I am tempted to install a different ident daemon, that should solve it.<br />
Thanks for the info<br />

&quot;Theoretically&quot;, it's possible - but not probable... &nbsp;You've got a sucky coder if that's the case... ;)<br />

"Theoretically", it's possible - but not probable...  You've got a sucky coder if that's the case... ;)

Is there any way to prevent the logging of startup failures of a certain service to system event log?

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
