Session "WBCommandletInBuiltTracing" failed to start

article #616, updated 3939 days ago

On SBS 2011, you may see this repeated a lot in event logs:

Session "WBCommandletInBuiltTracing" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035

According to Microsoft, this can safely be ignored. However, many times these events will crop up so often as to eat up server performance.

To fix, open an administrative command prompt, CD a la:

cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN 

and run

PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures

If you see a message which says SPWriterServiceInstance would not start, and/or if the Sharepoint VSS Writer service is disabled, try this:

stsadm -o registerwsswriter

which should get the VSS writer set up and going, and then run the PSConfig above again.
