The Microsoft Exchange Analyzer Tool queries the Win32_NTLogEvent Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class to determine whether an Event 7031 warning has been logged for the Service Control Manager source within the last 24 hours.
An Event 7031 warning means the specified service could not continue. The service is configured to report the number of failures and, after a specific number of failures are reported, the Service Control Manager will perform the recovery action configured for the specified service.
If the Exchange Analyzer finds that one or more of these events has been logged within the last 24 hours, the Exchange Analyzer displays an informational message.
This issue can be caused by various problems including, but not limited to, the following which are the most common:
- A corrupted message being processed.
- Antivirus application configuration issues.
To address this issue:
- Follow the guidance in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 286350,
"How to use ADPlus to troubleshoot "hangs" and "crashes"" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=3052&kbid=286350)
to isolate the cause of a process becoming unresponsive (hang) or
stopping unexpectedly (crash).
- Obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft Windows 2000.
- Obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft Exchange
Server.
- Contact the antivirus application vendor to obtain the latest
updates and configuration information.
