    Server 2008 Event Log Service stuck in "Starting"; Module Installer stopped working; SP2

    I've installing and used Windows Server 2008 since early in the beta,
    installed it on many physical computers as well as in virtual machines and
    this is the first time I've encountered this problem, or anything like it
    before.

    I had two Server 2008 servers on which the Event Log service is always in
    the "Starting" status and I got message boxes popping up saying that the
    Windows Module Installer has stopped working. Because the Event Log service
    is not running, I could not view the Event Logs.

    Although I could logon locally, essentially no roles or features were
    working correctly.
    DNS service didn't start - this is Active Directory integrated - server
    is a domain controller
    could not connect to the computer over the network (shares, printers,
    Remote Desktop Connection, Computer Management all failed)

    I found a few references on the Internet about this situation, but none
    provided a solution.

    The first server is Windows Server 2008 Enterprise 64 bit with Hyper-V
    installed. It has Active Directory Domain Services role and WSUS installed
    in the Parent VM (not recommended I know, but this is a small, test
    installation). This has been working fine ever since the RTM version of
    Server 2008 was installed, a day or so after Server 2008 was initially
    released. This server gets shutdown overnight.

    When the problem happened, I tried various ways to fix the problem but none
    worked. Since the Windows Server Backup wouldn't work, I could not restore
    the server from a recent backup. However, eventually, by booting from the
    Windows Server 2008 DVD, I was able to restore this server from the backup
    and it again working OK (this was the only Domain Controller in this
    domain).

    The second server was a new clean install of Windows Server 2008 Standard 32
    bit. The intent was to make this a second domain controller, transfer the
    FSMO roles to it, run adprep for Windows Server 2008 R2, then upgrade it to
    Windows Server 2008 R2. However, after installing all the available
    updates, promoting it to be a domain controller and restarting, the Event
    Log service failed to start. Perhaps coincidentally, after the next restart
    of the first server, it got the same problem - Event Log service remained in
    the Starting state; so now I had two, none functional domain controllers and
    panic started. That's when, after trying various suggested methods to fix
    this problem I restored the first domain controller from backup - this
    backup was from a few days ago before the second domain controller was
    added.

    Next, I started all over again on the second server:
    Clean install of Windows Server 2008 Standard 32 bit (RTM) w/o Hyper-V
    Activated successfully
    installed Service Pack 2
    restart
    Event Log service stuck in Starting status and pop up messages that Windows
    Module Installer has stopped working.

    Here's the corrective actions I've taken so far - without success:
    1. changed the permissions for the Event Log account for the folder
    c:\windows\system32\winevt to Full Control; restart
    When I logon (local Administrator account) I get a message box that says
    "Windows must be reinstalled. An unauthorized change was made to Windows.
    Windows must be re-installed to activate. Insert the Windows installation
    DVD or CD into your computer to begin the reinstallations process."

    2. start over - boot from DVD, select to format the installation partition,
    install Windows Server 2008 32 bit Standard (Full Installation) w/o Hyper-v
    a. activated successfully
    b. restarted
    c. changed computer name
    d. restarted
    e. install Service Pack 2
    f. restarted several times - problem did not resurface
    g. in AD Users and Computers, create an OU and use GPMC to Block
    Inheritance; create a new computer account for this server in this OU so no
    GPOs get applied to this computer
    h. join computer to domain; restart several times - system OK
    i. remove the block inheritance setting so computer will get the GPOs
    applied to the domain level (no other GPOs in the OU path at this point);
    restart several times - no problem
    j. move the computer account to the OU containing other servers - several
    more GPOs are applied to this OU, including one that uses Restricted Groups
    to populate the local groups (e.g. Administrators, Remote Desktop Users,
    Power Users, Users), and one that configures WSUS.
    k. restart; Windows Update Software 7.1.6001.65 was automatically
    installed . Control Panel Programs and Features, Installed Updates does not
    allow the update (955430) to be uninstalled.

    The Event Log service is stuck in the Starting state - the problem is back!

    l. install the HotFix from KB 952664- get the message "The update does not
    apply to your system".

    Anyone have any idea how to correct this problem?

    Hello Bruce,

    Check out if the "EventLog" is added with Full control on the following folder:
    windows\system32\winevt\logs

    If not check if it is on winevt folder and use inheritance to get it also
    to the logs folder.

    Re: Server 2008 Event Log Service stuck in "Starting"; Module Installer stopped working; SP2

    Hello Bruce,

    Did some more searching about this 'Group' "Eventlog" which is not to find
    on local computer or in AD. It is a builtin service group? If you use in
    a command prompt:

    sc showsid eventlog

    you can see that it exists, this is default on all 2008 machines, tested
    it on 3 different one's.

    If that group type is missing on logs folder and you have to recreate it
    for testing you can use the command from this article:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...7-e5f471667302

    In this one it is also metioned in the Q&A section:
    http://blogs.technet.com/askds/archi...and-vista.aspx

    Re: Server 2008 Event Log Service stuck in "Starting"; Module Installer stopped working; SP2

    Meinolf: Thanks for your posts.

    I recall that I had the same problem some months ago on a virtual machine
    (Windows Server 2008 RTM 64 bit), but it was both "experimental" and I
    didn't pursue the issue. It still exista and I started it one of them - it
    still has the same problem - Event Log service stuck in the "starting"
    state.

    I've included details below relating to permissions on the winevt folder,
    but based on what actually fixed the problem, this would seem to be all a
    red herring.

    After spending quite a bit of time fussing with the permissions on the
    winevt/logs files, I found a reference to
    http://pieter.wigleven.com/it/archives/54 that suggests fixing a similar,
    but not identical, symptom by setting the Regional and Language Options to
    English (United States) - several settings in this dialog. Did that (I
    normally use English (Canada) with the Short Date Format set to dd-mmm-yy
    and Measurement System to US) then restarted the server - lo and behold, the
    Event Log service starts normally and everything appears to be working
    again!

    Set the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, DHCP Client services back to start
    automatically and started them - no problems.

    Restart the server again. Seems to be working fine now.

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

    Here's some (possibly extraneous) information and results of investigating
    and fussing with the winevt folder and its permissions:

    This "EventLog" account (or whatever it is) certainly seems to be a somewhat
    mysterious entity.
    - It is not listed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243330 (Well-known
    security identifiers in Windows operating systems)
    - it seems to have the same SID on all the Server 2008 and Vista machines
    I've checked (3 Windows Server 2008 in three different domains, one Vista
    SP1 in one of the domains)
    (SERVICE SID:
    S-1-5-80-880578595-1860270145-482643319-2788375705-1540778122)

    On all the 2008 servers I've checked (including several that are functioning
    normally and the one that has the Event Log service stuck in the "starting"
    state), the permissions on the %systemroot%\system32\winevt, the sub folders
    and the files is identical:

    \winevt
    Event Log - This folder, subfolders and files (not inherited)
    Traverse folder / execute file
    List folder / read data
    Read Attributes
    Read Extended Attributes
    Create files / write data
    Create folders / append data
    Write attributes
    Write extended attributes
    Delete subfolders and files
    Read permissions
    SYSTEM - This folder, subfolders and files (not inherited)
    Full Control
    Administrators - This folder, subfolders and files (not inherited)
    Full Control
    Authenticated Users - This folder and subfolders (not inherited)
    List folder / read data
    Read Attributes
    Read Extended Attributes
    Read permissions

    \winevt\Logs
    Event Log - This folder, subfolders and files (not inherited)
    Full Control
    SYSTEM, Administrators and Authenticated Users - same as for winevt (not
    inherited)

    \winevt\TraceFormat - all inherited from \winevt

    \winevt\Logs - files - all permissions inherited from winevt\logs

    On the system with the problem and one without the problem, I ran the
    command
    CACLS c:\windows\system32\winevt\logs\security.evtx /S
    as suggested in
    http://blogs.technet.com/askds/archi...and-vista.aspx.

    The result was identical in both cases:
    c:\windows\system32\winevt\logs\Security.evtx
    "D:AI(A;ID;FA;;;S-1-5-80-880578595-1860270145-482643319-2788375705-1540778122)(A;ID;FA;;;SY)(A;ID;FA;;;BA)"

    As an experiment on the system with the problem, I opened the Advanced
    Security dialog for c:\windows\system32\winevt\logs
    1. click Edit
    2. click Continue (UAC prompt)
    3. add check mark to "Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all
    descendants with inheritable permissions from this object"
    4. click OK
    5. on the Windows Security message box (warns that this action will replace
    all the permissions on the descendant objects - all the files in the
    winevt\Logs folder in this case); click Yes
    6. click OK; click OK (closes the Properties dialogs)
    This operation completed with no errors or messages

    I checked the permissions on a few of the .evtx files in winevt\logs and
    EventLog had Full Control

    Restarted the problematic server; the problem is still the same - Event Log
    services stuck in the "Starting" state.

    Checked the permissions on the winevt, winevt\logs and some of the .evtx
    files and they are still the same as stated above.

    Another suggestion I saw was to delete all the files in the winevt\Logs
    folder, so I did that, but three files didn't get deleted:

    Microsoft-Windows-Security-Configuration-Wizard%4Diagnostic.etl
    Microsoft-Windows-Security-Configuration-Wizard%4Operational.etl
    Microsoft-Windows-ServerManager%4Analytic.etl

    Windows Explorer reports these as having a size of 0 bytes.

    When I try to examine the permissions on these, I don't see any permissions,
    just a dialog that says the Owner can not be determined and offers to allow
    me to change the Ownership. If I user the CACLS command to display the
    permissions, I get Access is denied.

    When I try to take ownership of these files, I get Access is denied - I
    tried with a domain user account that is a member of the local
    Administrators group and also with the local Administrator user account -
    same result.

    restarted the system anyway - same problem

    I noticed that there were other services stuck in the starting status (e.g.
    TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, DHCP Client), so I changed there Startup type to
    Disabled and started the server again.

    Even though the Event Log service is still set to start automatically, now
    it doesn't seem to even try to start (or maybe starts and stops before I can
    open the Services mmc).

    Tried to start the Event Log service manually - get "Windows could not start
    the Windows Event Log service on Local Computer. Error 87: The parameter is
    incorrect."
