Port Mapper Startup Status
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
The RPC Port Mapper service enables UNIX-based computers to discover the UNIX-compatible services that are available on Windows-based computers.
Events
| Event ID | Source | Message |
|---|---|---|
portmap |
Windows(R) failed a request to allocate memory. RPC Port Mapper cannot start. Network File System (NFS) clients use RPC Port Mapper (also known as Portmap and Rpcbind) to discover NFS protocols on remote servers. Without RPC Port Mapper, Server for NFS cannot start and NFS clients cannot access files on this server. Windows may be low on system resources. Try increasing available system resources by closing programs, then start Server for NFS manually (which will also start RPC Port Mapper). | |
portmap |
Windows(R) failed a request to register RPC Port Mapper on User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port 111. RPC Port Mapper cannot start. Network File System (NFS) clients use RPC Port Mapper (also known as Portmap and Rpcbind) to discover NFS protocols on remote servers. Without RPC Port Mapper, Server for NFS cannot start and NFS clients cannot access files on this server. Verify that no other software is registered on UDP port 111, then start Server for NFS manually (which will also start RPC Port Mapper). | |
portmap |
Windows(R) failed a request to register RPC Port Mapper on TCP port 111. RPC Port Mapper cannot start. Network File System (NFS) clients use RPC Port Mapper (also known as Portmap and Rpcbind) to discover NFS protocols on remote servers. Without RPC Port Mapper, Server for NFS cannot start and NFS clients cannot access files on this server. Verify that no other software is registered on TCP port 111, then start Server for NFS manually (which will also start RPC Port Mapper). | |
portmap |
Windows(R) failed a request to provide RPC Port Mapper with the IP address for the local host. RPC Port Mapper cannot start. Network File System (NFS) clients use RPC Port Mapper (also known as Portmap and Rpcbind) to discover NFS protocols on remote servers. Without RPC Port Mapper, Server for NFS cannot start and NFS clients cannot access files on this server. Verify that this server is configured properly for networking, then start Server for NFS manually (which will also start RPC Port Mapper). | |
portmap |
Windows(R) RPC Port Mapper service has completed starting but has not yet registered any interfaces. Interface registration for IPv6 UDP interfaces is dynamic and is performed as a background operation. These registrations should be completed shortly. An event will be logged when the registration is completed. Until this registration is complete, any Network File System (NFS) clients attempting to use RPC Port Mapper (also known as Portmap and Rpcbind) to discover NFS protocols on this server may be unable to locate the local Server for NFS and so will not be to access any files hosted on this server. If no registrations for the portmap service itself happen within a few seconds, verify that this server is configured properly for networking, stop the RPC Port Mapper service and then restart the Server for NFS manually (which will also start RPC Port Mapper). | |
portmap |
Windows(R) RPC Port Mapper service (also known as Portmap and Rpcbind) has completed registration of all dynamic interfaces. The service is available for use. |
