Problem starting management server

I am currently replacing symantec server with avast on windows 2000 server sp 4, and have a few problems. I have had to reinstall the management software because of a mistake i made on a previous installation and now I get this message :

  There was a problem starting the avast! Management service 
   Error: 1060

Have removed all registry values found for avast management, removed all old folder locations, and reinstalled correctly.
Any help would be great,
Thanks in advance.

Error 1060 means The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

Sounds like a corrupt install. How did you install the product, exactly? And why did you have to reinstall it, again?

Thanks :slight_smile:

ADNM was installed remotely though terminal services, and avast server was installed locally. The reinstall was due to an error when it tried to install the data base.

Was reading another post by KMH and he had the same problem i had, which is why i reinstalled: error while installing msde. Found that the registry contained an old instance of sql services and was conflicting with the install. So i removed all registry settings for sql and reinstalled adnm and mdse completed with no errors.
But now it wont start…but the sql service manager shows it running

What you might try is go to Control Panel → Add/Remove Programs - > Avast Management Tools → Change/Remove and use the “Repair” command (from the icon list on the left).

That should theoretically reregister the services.

tried the repair and same problem. Whent ahead and reinstalled avast server and adnm after removing all registry values for avast. Everything is working great now, thanks for the help

Hi, I have the same problem.

My registry error are:

  • Third server conn attempt (last good: xxx.xxx.xx.x:16111) failed. (error 0000274D).
  • Cannot connect Server lookup didn’t find any AMS’! socket, WinSock error 0x00000000 has occurred.

And when i try to start the service “avast! management server” manually, i get an error:

  • Impossible to start the service, it hasn’t respond to start request

I have just tried the repair tool but it can’t solve my problem.

If i had to reinstall the ADNM, what are the consequences, i lose my database?? i need to reinstall all the client console??

Thanks a lot
