| Event Information | According to Microsoft : Cause : Thhis event is logged when an attempt to programmatically disable the windows firewall using INetFwProfile. Resolution : In Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, some Windows Firewall application programming interface (API) calls, such as one used to programmatically disable Windows Firewall, have been removed from the operating system for security reasons. Because these APIs are not supported, the firewall service logs an event whenever an application attempts to use them, and then ends the call with a failure code. This might cause the application to fail at runtime. Check with your application vendor to see if a newer version of the application that is compatible with Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 is available. |
