IMA service is stopping for no reason. The box is stable and has been rebooted recently. I have already run dsmaint refreshlch. I am able to start it right back up. Nothing has changed to my knowledge to the server. It is now set as the Backup DC but generally the Primary. Windows 2000 SP2 XPE SP2 FR2 Event logs are: Failed to start transport with error IMA_RESULT_PORT_IN_USE And then The Independent Management Architecture service terminated with service-specific error 2147483705. Seems to be a simple error that I am sure someone else has come across but the searching find nothing.
