Hi, We have a problem with one of the application service. A Service named Qmax database service is getting stopped automatically. Whenever we try to start after few minutes its getting stopped automatically. Event ID : 7016 is being generated Decription: The Q-Max Database Server service has reported an invalid current state 0. Server: Win 2000 Application team dont have any clue on this. Any help would be appreciated Regards Balaji

Windows 2000 is a supported operating system for that Q-Max Database Server ?

Hello Thanks for you quick reply. But the problem started only recently. It was working fine before Balaji.

do you have installed some updates on that server recently ?Edoardo Benussi - Microsoft MVP Management Infrastructure - Systems Administration https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/Profile/Benussi Windows Server Italian Forum Moderator edo[at]mvps[dot]org

Not recently. Because i beleive there is no updates available for 2000 now. But it was updated till the time updates were available. Other than that no changes have been made recently. Balaji.

you can try to uninstall and reinstall Q-Max Database Server service.Edoardo Benussi - Microsoft MVP Management Infrastructure - Systems Administration https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/Profile/Benussi Windows Server Italian Forum Moderator edo[at]mvps[dot]org
