ImagePath Getting Deleted

[Guest richlich]

Windows Server 2003 x64 with latest SP and patches.

 

Upon reboot a large number of services fail to start. Primarily this is due

to the ImagePath missing for that service in the Registry. When that value is

entered manually, of course the service (and any dependant service) will

start. What might be the reason for this? What other corruption should we be

looking for? (Backup Exec 11d cannot query the System State when choosing it

for backup.)
