- TITLE :PRB: Service Control Manager Event 7024 (2270)
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- During boot, the following message is displayed in a dialog box:
-
- At least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use
- Event Viewer to examine the event log for details.
-
- Event Viewer shows a Service Control Manager event number 7024. This
- is explained as: "The Messenger service terminated with service-
- specific error 2270."
-
- Further information can be obtained by using the NET HELPMSG command.
- Error message 2270 is explained by the following:
-
- The computer name could not be added as a message alias.
- The name may already exist on the network.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- This occurs when the name given to the computer is not unique on the
- network. Sometimes a computer will be given a name that is also a user
- name.
-
- The messenger functions by listening to the network for messages
- directed to a set of aliases. The list of aliases consists of the
- computer name, the user name of the current user, and any aliases
- added via the NET NAME command. If there are no users logged on, the
- only alias that messenger can listen to is the computer name.
- Therefore, the messenger always expects to be able to add the computer
- name, during startup, as an alias to listen to. If this name already
- exists on the network (because it was added on another machine), the
- messenger is unsuccessful in adding that name, and fails to start.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- Rename the computer to a unique name by choosing the Network icon in
- Control Panel. The next time you start Windows NT, the error message
- should not appear.
