Primary Channel Initialization
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
Initialization of the primary channels must succeed for the Event Log service to continue its operation. An error event related to a primary channel initialization causes the Event Log service to terminate. This means that in most cases it is impossible to view the event, because viewing the event requires the Event Log service. When you find events that indicate the primary channel initialization failed, the errors occured in the past and this can indicate a problem that has been corrected or a transient condition that must be investigated.
