Published: May 12, 2010
Alert Name: Administration service is not running
Event ID: No event ID
Summary: The Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Administration service is required to run on all servers in a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 farm. This service performs multiple operations on the local server computers that require local administrator permissions for operations; for example, creating and deleting Web applications and service applications, and starting and stopping services. If this service is not running on any server in a SharePoint Foundation 2010 farm, administrative operations can fail or partially succeed.
Cause: One or more of the following might be the cause:
-
The SharePoint Foundation Administration service was stopped by an administrator on a particular computer.
-
The user name or password for the account that the SharePoint Foundation Administration service is set to run as is incorrect.
-
An error condition in the SharePoint Foundation Administration service caused the service to terminate.
Resolution: Start the administration service
-
Start the SharePoint Foundation Administration service by using the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in in Windows. Click Start, click Run and type the following:
services.msc
Resolution: Check the service account
-
If the service fails to start, ensure that the user name and account have membership in the Administrators group on the local computer.
Resolution: Repair the configuration
-
If the service could not be started, try to repair the SharePoint Foundation configuration on that server by running the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard.
