In this post we will discuss how to address a timeout error that occurs during a service startup.
Problem
The Windows Event Log shows one or more entries related to a timeout that occurs while waiting for a service to start. For example,
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7011Description:
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the Netman service.
Solution
Create or increase the ServicesPipeTimeout entry’s value in the Windows registry per the references Microsoft article listed above. If the key does not exist, create a new DWORD entry with an initial decimal value of 60000. The value specified is in milliseconds so the recommended starting value is equivalent to one minute.
