Troubleshooting occasional time-outs of the Folder Sync service

If the Folder Sync host server is slightly underpowered you may experience occasional time-outs of the ArchiveTools Folder Sync service.

An error such as the following may be received:

Windows could not start the ArchiveTools Folder Sync service on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

To help to avoid a time out of the service in this situation, you can set a Windows registry value on the host server as follows.

To troubleshoot occasional time-outs of the Folder Sync service

  1. Start the Windows registry editor on the Folder Sync host server.
  2. Locate the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 \SYSTEM
  \CurrentControlSet
    \Control
  3. Under this subkey, edit or create the following DWORD value: ServicesPipeTimeout.

    Give ServicesPipeTimeout a decimal value of 180000.

  4. Exit from the registry editor.
  5. You must restart the host server to apply this change.
