Cisco Secure ACS Solution Engine - Some windows services not started Morph 07-24-08

I installed a new Cisco Secure Access Control Server Solution Engine
yesterday. It is an appliance based on a hardened Windows Server 2003
with no access to the windows part.

After I started the appliance it would boot and on the attached monitor
I see the windows message "At least one service or driver failed during
system startup..." The device was acting funny so today I did a recovery
procedure, that is I reinstalled the appliance with the DVD from cisco.
Even with a fresh new installation when the device boots I see on the
screen the same message "At least one service or driver failed during
system startup...". Since there is no access to the windows OS I can't
see what exactly is the problem.

Now the appliance seems to be working fine but i'm not sure why the
error message appears.

Does anyone have an idea regarding this issue?

Open a TAC case, they will be able to access the OS and determine if there
is a problem.

I believe this is a bug and is listed on CCO. I have an ACS Solutions
Engine as well, and I see the same warning. Seems like I had also
discussed this with TAC on an unrelated call and they indicated it
wasn't a problem.

I opened a TAC case and they (as fugettaboutit sugested) said that I can
ignore the error message and that it doesn't affect the ACS.
Thanks both of you for your time!
