Summary
Entries for event ID 4356 may appear in the Application section of the Event Viewer on computers with the ManageSoft for Managed Devices software installed.
The "Description" of the event will contain text similar to:The COM+ Event System failed to create an instance of the subscriber partition:{41E90F3E-56C1-4633-81C3-6E8BAC8BDD70}!new:{128EC798-ADC6-4F75-9569-3E81D6092559}. CoGetObject returned HRESULT 8000401A. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
When this occurs, it does not have any harmful impact on the machine. It may be undesirable for these events to occur if the machine is being used to create a Build image.
Cause
These events are generated when a managed device boots up, and is left at the Windows logon screen for a period of time. Once the machine is in this state, any ManageSoft Schedule events with an "At Startup / Logon" trigger may attempt to execute. ManageSoft Schedule events may generate the event ID 4356 as described above when they try to execute prior to a user logging on to the machine.There are no specific changes that can be made to the device to prevent this event getting logged in the Application Event Viewer. It may be possible to prevent the scenario occurring in the first place.
- Avoid the use of "At Startup / Logon" triggers in your ManageSoft Schedules.
If you are using a device specifically to create a build image, and wish to avoid the event getting generated:
- Log straight in to the machine
- Set the device to "Autologon" to a particular account (See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315231)
