SYMPTOMS

When you run multiple deployment services at the same time in Microsoft Application Center 2000 with Service Pack 2 (SP2), the deployment services process (Acsrepl.exe) may intermittently stop responding.

Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7034
Date: Date
Time: Time

CAUSE
