Event Details
 

To review the error code:

1. Type cmd to open a command prompt.
2. Type sc query service_name (where service_name is the name of the service) at the command prompt to display the Windows WIN32_EXIT_CODE error code text that the Service Control Manager encountered when trying to start the service.

Note: If the WIN32_EXIT_CODE is zero, then SCM did not attempt to start the service because the error was detected first.

1. For descriptions of the Windows error codes type net helpmsg exit_code (where exit_code is the 4 digit number of the error code) at the command prompt to display the meaning of the WIN32_EXIT_CODE.
