Here is the solution for the well known problem of Terminal Service error appearing in the Event Log. The problem is in the following registry: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order\ProviderOrder If you remove RDPNP (I suppose RD in RDPNP means Remote Desktop) from this registry key, then the error in Event Log doesn't appear. I didn't check this deeply but from the name of the key I assume the ProviderOrder key is used to cofigure the order of loading of some network components. The entries in ProviderOrder key are comma separated. For example my key value is: LanmanWorkstation,RDPNP. So if I leave only LanmanWorkstation the event doesn't appear in the log. If we look at RDPNP registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\RDPNP We will notice that RDPNP component actually loads %SystemRoot%\System32\drprov.dll. This drprov.dll looks like a remainant from Microsoft Terminal Services service. It's properties: I haven't checked this throughly, but I hope that nuhi will look at this, check any additional dependencies this remaining DLL has and fix this little bit anoying bug Hope this helps.
