We keep getting these two events EVERY 5 minutes in same order. Also were experiencing slow response meaning that loading page from sharepoint sometimes just hangs for a while before even starts loading page to browser. Can this hanging be somehow related to these logs? Notice that srv02:3812 is a Central Admin IIS web site ?? Config db is on ms##ssee and content is on sql express. I know about 2424 search service built in account issue and service is running under server admin account. Any help would be appreciated.

I am having the same issue and any help is greatly appreciated.I am running WSS 3.0 in a server farm with a SQL 2005 DB.Thanks, Jon

I was wondering if you ever resolved this issue? I am getting the same error, and cannot stop the system from Crawling.Thanks

Not sure about the event log issues, but with regards to the slow requests, in my experience most slow downs in SharePoint 2007 are related to CRL (Certificate Revocation List) lookups when assemblies are being loaded. I have added a list of possible workarounds to the following blog posting: http://jritmeijer.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!8A48A27460FB898A!965.entry Not sure if this will solve your problem, but it is worth looking into when you are experiencing slow spin-up times of the server or wheninvoking stsadm.

Regards Please try this: Log on to the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 server by using an account that has administrative permissions. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration. On the Central Administration page, click Operations. Under Services on the Services on Server: <var>ServerName</var> page, click Windows SharePoint Services Search. Next to Service Account on the Configure Windows SharePoint Services Search Service Settings on server: <var>ServerName</var> page, select Configurable. Type a user account and password that has access to the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 database, and then click OK.
