On a windows 2003 R2 SP2, starting the SNMP service gives error 1053 (follows) In Event log the event Ids are: 7000 & 7009 respectivly (follows) I have already tried: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/886695 (tick the "Allow service to interact with desktop"), I also ran Windows updates for all high priority updates, replaced the %windir%\system32\snmp*.* files with ones from another R2 SP2 server that does not have the problem (after renaming the original files to the *.old & copying the same files to the DLLcache folder so SFC would stop interfering ;) ) and checked for other errors that might show a reason for this - The only thing I can connect to it is that the IISAdmin & GoogleUpdate services (gupdate & gupdatem) having the same problem, but that seams unrelated...
