MMC could not create the snap-in
Problem:
When attempting to access several admin tasks via the MMC console, the above error occurs. The snap-ins (non-third party, standard come-with-vista, not part of the 2003 admin pack) a Event Viewer Task Manager MMC snap-ins that do work: Computer management Local security policy Print Management What I have attempted to solve the problem: Remove and re-add the snap-ins for Event View and Task Manager in MMC. Result: "MMC cannot initialize the snap-in. Name: Task Schedule. CLSID:FX:{c7b8fb06-bfe1-4c2e-9217-7a69a95bbac4] Same results with a different CLSID for Event Viewer I have confirmed that the registry keys do exist and the System and Administrator have full control on them. They appear fully populated. Ensure I have the minimal version of the .Net framework for MMC 3.0. Result: In my Microsoft.NET\Framework directory, I have v1.0.3705 v1.1.4322 v2.0.50727 v3.0 The v.2.0.50727 is supposed to be what MMC 3.0 needs to run. Verify services are running: Event viewer service is running as is task scheduler. I am unable to stop task scheduler's service and event viewer has a dependency on it. Appropriate administrator permissions I am the sole administrator on the machine and have disabled UAC until problem is resolved so all of my prompts are elevated. Run the system file repair tool at the command prompt. No notice of errors, no apparent fix after completion. Attempt to run repair from Vista installation DVD: Vista is installed on a RAID striped controller. I was able to install to it, but Vista installer does not see it in installed versions of vista. Repair is not an option. Have tried to run various raid drivers (and I can see my c: drive from the PE command prompt, but nothing has detected my Vista installation. Run the registration command script for the Server 2003 Admin pack: Created the .cmd files suggested from the MS KB article. No effect. I've taken just about every suggestion I can take from the net on how to fix this problem and have come up short every time. I am about ready to create a support incident with MS, but hate to spend $59 when the problem is with the core OS admin functions and I haven't messed with any third party software or snap-ins that would have messed with this. I am also reluctant to reinstall Vista after spending so much time getting my system stable and running optimally with the exception of this problem. Without being able to view the event log, I do not know if I have impending problems with my system. I consider the problem pretty serious. Is there anyone from Microsoft who can help? |

I have the very same problem here. MMC and Task Scheduler. I run a vista Ultimate SP1 x64. -- Rozsomak I have the exact same problem and under SP1 32bit. Either appeared after PC Wizard 2008 or Firefox3, which stopped working for no apparent reason. PC WIzard had its own version or subset of the Evenrt Viewer and it was reporting some rather oddly dated events (more than 18 months old, longer than I owned machine) and I have installed Vista Business clean twice. I also do not wish to reinstall to return this functionality, but I am stumped I have tried all the things you describe, but no luck. (Even more, I dare say) I spend more of my life getting applications or OS's working and stable, than actually uisng the system. R |

I have absolutly the same problem and i am realy not amused to buy a product where core fonctions are not working corectly. Especially, as it happened after an automatic update from Microsoft: .Net 3.5 Until now, i did not find a way to have the eventviewer working. I must indicate that i am not a dummy user but since 20 years an IT pro!!!! Unecessary to say, that i wont spend money for a microsoft support. -- Luxi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Luxi's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/91856.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-adm...ion/919249.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

If you were to post direct to an MS group, explaining your problem, you
might get a formative resonse, rather than posting to another group that leaches off the MS groups and posts a none explicit explanation "Luxi" wrote in message ...

I feel your pain. Go to Microsoft Training Website, its free and theres a
wealth of information ref: Windows Vista. I was pretty happy when I found Vista has its on server. The more I know about Vista the more I enjoy it. You can only do "VPN" virtual private networking if you have different operating systems e.g., Vista & XP etc. -- jrdummiekof "DL" wrote: If you were to post direct to an MS group, explaining your problem, you might get a formative resonse, rather than posting to another group that leaches off the MS groups and posts a none explicit explanation "Luxi" wrote in message ...
