Verify the Registry Settings for Network Adapters

If the CA ADA Monitor service is not starting, verify the Windows Registry settings for network adapters.

Follow these steps:

  1. On the Windows desktop, click the Start menu, then click Run.
  2. In the Open box, type regedit.
  3. Navigate to the following key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\
    {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    

    There should be several subkeys starting with 0000 and ranging to 0008. Each subkey represents a network adapter loaded in Windows.

  4. Expand each subkey to ensure that it has a Linkage subfolder. If a subkey does not have a Linkage subfolder, export the subkey and delete it.
  5. Export a subkey:
    1. Select the subkey.
    2. On the Registry Editor menu, click File and then Export.
    3. Select a destination and file name.
    4. Click Save.
  6. Delete the subkey, right-click the subkey and click Delete.
  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for all subkeys that do not have a Linkage subfolder.
  8. Start the CA ADA Monitor service. If the service does not start, follow the troubleshooting steps in the next section.
