Event viewer: "The server's call to a system service failed unexpectedly"

Hi all,

I have a seemingly untraceable issue on a Windows 2003 server -- every few
seconds, an entry is being written into the system event log that reads:
Source: Srv
Event ID: 2000
Category: None
Description: The server's call to a system service failed unexpectedly
Data:
0000: 00040000 00540001 00000000 c00007d0
0010: 00000000 c000010a 00000000 00000000
0020: 00000000 00000000 00bd0334

My event log only goes back to the start of today, but there's 87000 entries
exactly like this. So it's becoming rather a nuisance. Now I've done a lot
of googling on this, but it seems to be unresolved; EventID.net doesn't list
it in it's summary[1] and comments. However I've got a bit further with
other searches. The key error code apparently is c000010a, which maps to
some STATUS_ code. According to a number of places, this is
STATUS_PROCESS_IS_TERMINATING, which doesn't help me too much, apart from
give a number a name.

Unfortunatly, this has led me to a dead-end. Various suggestions I've seen
include DNS Server (server doesn't have the DNS server service installed),
NAS storage (none attached), anti-virus (all disabled and we're still
getting errors). So it's a loss.

What I'm looking for is a way to trace the process that's raising this and
work from there. However I've not found the right incantation for google (if
there is one) to find a way to trap writes to the event log so I can map an
entry back to a running executable. Is anyone aware of a way this could be
performed? I suspect process monitor could do it, but that's not working on
this server (no matter what I do to the filters, it doesn't capture any
events: display stays resolutely blank).

Any other suggestions for a line of enquiry also welcome.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi there,

Thanks for the prompt feedback, however we do not have Cheyenne Open file
Agent installed on this server. We also do not have Veritas Storage
replicator installed.

Regards,

Chris
