ZabbixW32 Agent service terminated unexpectedly

[timeless]

I have installed Windows Agent on many windows servers, but only two of them (win2000) are having the touble.
I have no problem with installation or start the service from the command line. But if I checked the process, the Agent wasn't running at all.
Then I issued the ZabbixW32.exe stop, it said the service wasn't running.

I checked the event log and it showed "The ZabbixW32 Agent service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 0 milliseconds. No action." If I manually start the service, it will pop out saying "Could not start the ZabbixW32 Agent service on Local computer. Error: 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly."

Is anyone having the same problem? What's causing it? :confused:
Please help! Thanks!

I think I found the problem is on the client. The port 10000 that zabbix listens was being used by other process. After I changed to use the different port, it seems start working. :)

This server is odd...

This time I got unable to add performance counter
"\unknownPerformanceCounter(_Total)\unknownperforma ncecounter" to query:
The specified object is not found on the system.

Is anyone seeing this error before? :confused:
Thanks in advance!

We had the same thing over here and it seemed that it happened because of the length of the servername. First we had a NEXDOUBLER_DL380 server, and we weren't able to start the service. After we renamed the server to NXDBLR it worked fine... Strange but true...

Thanks, cybaspace!

unfortunately, I can not change the server name. :(
Is there a way to use the alias name in the agent.conf??
Or have it in the hosts file??
