I wanted to track this issue which I resolved since I only saw one occurrence of it in the arslist archives that did not have a solution.
My HelpDesk staff periodically reboot my remedy application server just to clear any memory errors. They happen to do a reboot while I was on vacation and had to contact me because the Remedy services didn't start. It kept on getting this strange error: Could not start the AR System Portmapper service on Local Computer. Error 193: 0xc1 I checked my logs and it never clued me what the problem was. I went as far as bringing up my DR server into production and contacted support for assistance. We tried reinstalling the Remedy applications but as soon as the install completed we would get the same error. No luck. Searching the arslists did not show any assistance. Well to make a longer story short, three days later I decided to Google the error and found this. http://www.brainlitter.com/archives/2006/07/error_193_0xc1.htm It said that this guy had this same error when starting up MS SQL, not Remedy related. The problem was that he found a file on his D drive "D:\Program". Hmm... Well I looked at my D: drive and low and behold I found this same file. I looked at the create date then renamed it to something else. I went to services and what do you know all the Remedy services started right up. How it got there? I was developing a batch file on that date a few weeks ago and on one run I forgot to surround the path D:\Program Files\.. with double quotes. So when it was run it created a NULL file called "Program". So like I said I wanted to track this error, because this very STUPID mistake of mine wasted 3 days of my time trying to figure it out when it could have been resolved in like 2 seconds. Well at least now I know my Disaster Recovery process works.
