2kSP4 - 0x8007041D

I'm getting the new "reregister" prompt on one machine. Reregistering
whatever it reregisters (grr) helps not.

The errmsg is 0x8007041D.

Browsing the net yields little, but (oh, my) the app and system logs are
suddenly full of the dreaded red x-es. And no, in svcs,

Automatic Updates won't start - errmsg 2147746310.

BITS won't start - errmsg 1068

COM+ event system won't start - errmsg 1083

RPC is running.

Something deep is apparently messed up in th COM+ and/or RPC area, but the
machine is running fine in most respects.

Suggestions?

Some additional information on this error from Torgeir, Microsoft MVP

<snip>
..................... it is most likely a COM+ issue.

First, verify that the "COM+ Event System" service is not disabled or not functioning:

Press Start and Run, and then run this command:
services.msc

Locate the "COM+ Event System" entry, and double click on it. Startup type should be set
to "Manual", and if the service is not already running, press the Start button to see if
it starts successfully.

If the steps above where ok, see if the steps in this previous post fixes the problem
(applies to WinXP as well):

Torgeir's instructions seem to have fixed me up, but I needed a reboot.
Then COM+ would start. Perhaps you should add that to your notes?

I had no squawks from WFP. Luckily, I had another 2kWS machine that I could
extract the magic key from.

The only remaining anomaly is that the "Started" column for BITS is blank in
the services.msc list. It shows as started in the property page. Strange.

Thanks much,

Frank

Added your suggestion to my notes.
