Cannot open any applications on windows server 2008 R2 Standard edition

  • 772

I have a server running on Windows server 2008 R2. It is recently added as a member of a domain. I am not able to start any applications in thew server. When I tried to open Event viewer it errored out saying "The page file is to small to complete the action".

I am experiencing same problem when I tried to open Sql server Management studio, task scheduler or any other application. The windows server serves as a production database server, but our applications are not experiencing any problems. Can someone please help?

  1. What i would try:

    • Put the server in a temporary OU in Active Directory, and bock GPO inheritance. Then replicate accross DC + gpupdate on this server. If it works again, it comes from GPO
    • You may use Process Monitor, from Microsoft, to understand what it fails to do.
    • Did you try to first launch a Cmd prompt with elevated rights (right click, run as admin..) and then launch eventvwr ?

    If you get the CMD but eventvwr fail, can you try this:

    wevtutil qe Application /c:3 /rd:true /f:text

    wevtutil qe System /c:3 /rd:true /f:text
