Computer. Error 87: The parameter is incorrect.” Through trial & error the problem was isolated to a group policy affecting all of the servers, and specifically the setting controlling the startup and security of the TermService service: Computer Configuration / Policies / Windows Settings / Security Settings / System Services / Terminal Services (Note that the display name on W2K8 is “Terminal Services” where on W2K8R2 it is “Remote Desktop Services” – but the underlying service name is consistent so the policy will correctly apply to both versions of the OS.) Enabling this setting and even leaving it at the default of Automatic as the startup type will cause vmickvpexchange to fail in this way – the reason is because TermService is running under the context of Network Service, whereas vmickvpexchange is running under Local Service. vmickvpexchange needs to be able to verify the state of TermService (but

It could be related to your version of svchost.exe. Have you applied the latest Service Pack? The repair install may have replaced svchost.exe with a base earlier version prior to what's needed by dlls installed sometime after your previous initial install. - gurutc 0 Message Author Comment by:elmer_fudd252008-07-29 Yes have re-applied the service pack after the repair install but still no joy. 0 LVL 6 Overall: Level 6 Message Expert Comment by:kosmoraios2008-07-29 Seems like a path may have changed when you repaired. Go into your services list (start -> run -> type services.msc) ,right click on the Server service, and see what the command line (path to executable) is. Should be %WinDir%\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs Also, depending on your level of expertise, you can use WMIC from the command line.
