Event 7076, 6398, 6482 regularly displayed in the Event Log on a SharePoint Server

I got these three errors in 2007 when I first built my SharePoint 2007 servers. Last month I built another MOSS 2007 dev environment and I got these errors again. Apart from the Event Log messages the symptoms that the customer may see are:

• In SharePoint Server 2007, tasks that are scheduled do not run.
• When you try to manage IIS 6.0 by using Server Manager, you receive a blank page, or you receive the following error message: the path specified cannot be used at this time

I think it’s better to write down the solution. A Windows Server 2003 hot fix 946517 is used for this issue.

Error "The tracking (workstation) service is not running" in IIS

Office Server Web Services web application in my SharePoint Server stopped! I tried to start it and got this error:

The tracking (workstation) service is not running

Simple fix is starting up the SSL service by running the following command and then start that web application.

net start httpfilter
