I am now having this problem on one of our servers. We recently added an Exchange server to our network, and when I install the service, everything is fine. When I go to start it, I am told that it is starting, then it comes back with an error stating that the service failed to respond to the start request in a timely manner.

I have copied over a fresh ZabbixW32 file, and still getting the same result.

Any ideas?

Just a bump, but more info

I'm still not making progress with this issue. I have completely removed the service, re-write the zabbix_agentd.conf file from scratch, yet the service still will not start. It sits at 'Starting' and goes no further, then I get an error stating that it is not able to start in a timely manner.

Is there a reason that this happens to some computers, but not others. Since this issue occured, I have not had problems installing the service into another Win2003 Server, nor a problem installing it into several WinXP workstations, as well.

I think I finally found the culprit. I edited the conf file to use a real path to the log file, and we'll see if that fixes things. Since this is on our Exchange server, I can't test it until after hours. So, we'll see how this comes out tomorrow.

You are right

I have the same problem the last week, if you use a bad log path the service appears as starting, i'm killed the process and the log file wasn't be created, reviewing the .conf file the log path was wrong.

I fix it and the service starts successfully.

Good Luck.
