Event ID 1003 and Event ID 1015 appear in the application log each time that you restart Windows Server 2003

Every time you restart your server, the following two events appear in the Application log in the Event Viewer:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: EvntAgnt
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1003
Date: date
Time: time
User: N/A
Computer: servername
Description: TraceFileName parameter not located in registry; Default trace file used is %1.

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: EvntAgnt
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1015
Date: date
Time: time
User: N/A
Computer: servername
Description: TraceLevel parameter not located in registry; Default trace level used is 32.

This problem occurs if you install the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) service but you do not also configure this service. These error events are logged by the SNMP service when you restart the computer. If the Evntagnt.dll file is not configured for debug tracing when the SNMP service starts, these two warning events are logged.

To stop these events from occuring, add the TraceFileName and the TraceLevel values to the following registry subkey:

• TraceFileName
  
  Type: REG_SZ
  Value: null (blank)
• TraceLevel
  
  Type: REG_DWORD
  Value: 32 (0x20)
