Hello Everyone,
I have an NT 4.0 sp6a server(pdc) that the "server service" is not starting, or delayed greatly in starting up.
-I have removed and reinstalled the NETBios Interface thinking that was it. No go.
-Varitas, Backup Exec. software is not starting. I ran a virus scan and came up with nothing.
-Restarted it serveral times through all of this.
Gives Event ID: 7022
Any ideas?

Thanks

Have you tried service packing the machine again. Sometimes one of the older pre-service pack 6a networking files gets installed with new hardware or software. I've experienced the same symptoms in the past and simply service packing again resolved the problem.

Good luck

If reinstalling the service pack alone does not fix it, you will need to take more drastic action - uninstall ALL network components - NIC card drivers and any network protocols that are running (this will also uninstall the server and workstation servies). Then, reinstall everything w/latest drivers for your NIC card, and re-run the SP6a after that. Hope this helps!
