Error handling in Event Listener

The Event Listener logs any abnormal condition that it encounters during processing, regardless of the trace level. It writes the error text to the Windows Event Log as an Error event.

Table 14 describes the most common errors that occur in Event Listener.

Event registration errors

When using Exchange Explorer to create event registrations, you can receive the following error:

An error has occurred creating the registration item. 
 Event sinks must be registered as a COM+ Application prior to 
 creating the registration event item, or there may be issues 
 connecting to the network or server. Also check the data for 
 accuracy. Choose Yes to retry your request, No to abort, or 
 Cancel to check your data and try again.
 

Verify that the event registration data is accurate and that the network and server are functioning. If the error still occurs, ensure that you have registered your event sink as a COM+ application, as described in Adding Event Listener to the COM+ application.
