SharePoint 2010 Administration service failed to start
After updating some windows updates in SharePoint 2010 machine, it stopped SharePoint 2010 Administration Service. I have tried to start the service, got the below error
Windows could not start the SharePoint 2010 Administration service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I have tried several ways to fix the issue like restarted the machine, ran the SharePoint 2010 configuration wizard, etc. It didn't fix my issue.
Steps to fix :
1. Run PS Config : "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN\psconfig" -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force
2. Modify the service timeout values in the Registry:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control add/modify DWORD value ServicesPipeTimeout to 60000 (60 seconds)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control add/modify STRING value WaitToKillServiceTimeout to 120000 (120 seconds)
3. Restart the server machine.
