Event ID 35 - Related to clustering

Question

Hello,

Thanks in advance for everyones help. I am getting the following error in the event viewer and can't seem to figure out what is going on. It looks like it is looking for a cluster, but we aren't clustering any computers together. Here is the error message:

NLB Cluster 0.0.0.0 : Cluster mode cannot be enabled due to parameter errors. All traffic will be passed through to TCP/IP. Restart cluster operations after fixing the problem by running 'wlbs reload' followed by 'wlbs start'.

When I attempt to do what this says I get this message:

WLBS Cluster Control Utility V2.4 (c) 1997-2003 Microsoft Corporation.
Cluster 0.0.0.0
Error querying parameters from the registry.
Please consult event log on the target host.

C:\

But like I said we aren't clustering any pc's together. So is this a matter of turning this option off. It is a PE 4400 with a Perc 3/Di Controller 0 (AFA0).

Thanks again for all the help and let me know if you need more information.

This sounds like a NLB (Network Load Balancing) related error. If you're using NLB, read this Windows 2000 articles which are very similar to Windows 2003:

Configuring Network Load Balancing

HOW TO: Configure an IP Address for NLB with One Network Adapter

HOW TO: Configure Network Load Balancing Parameters in Windows 2000

Else simply remove NLB in the NIC properties.

Ok, I will give that a try. Actually now that you mention that it sounds like it is related to a network load balance sounds familiar to when looking on the server.

Thanks for the help and have a great weekend!

Now I am receiving this error in the event log:

Source: Service Control Manager

Event ID 7000

The Network Load Balancing service failed to start due to the following error:

The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

I removed the NLB from the NIC properties and restarted the server and it comes up with failed driver or service. Any ideas? Thanks again for your help.

'NLB Failed to Start' Error Message on Windows 2000 If NLB Is Not Installed

Warning: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To prevent these error messages from occurring, remove the following registry subkeys (if they exist) after you back up the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\System\WLBS

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WLBS
