I had the same exact problem, it turned out the issue was a bad connection between my application server and database server. We were able to ping, tnsping, connect to the database, ect. It wasn't until Alfred had us enable logging and examine to the log and see how long it was taking to execute the sql commands and how long it took to return the results that we found the source of the problem. Turned out it was 2 bad ports on a new switch and I think a bad cable (also new).

Nothing is logged in the Remedy, NT, or DB logs. If I point this app server at my dev database the service will start and if I point the dev app server at this database the dev service does the same thing. Leading me to believe it's an issue with the database. I can connect from the app server to the database via odbcping and enterprise manager and I have confirmed the correct ownership of objects in the db. This was working fine until an attempt was made to restart the service early this morning. Nothing has changed on the database since the last restart. Any ideas? I'm a little desperate... Environment: Win2k server (OS and remote DB) ARS 7.0.1 patch 1 SQL Server 2000 Thanks!
