Test Execute/Complete Service not starting reliably

Hi guys,   I am currently researching a phenomenon of my QA Environment regarding the Test Complete Services. To be precise, TestComplete 12 Service does not start automatically, as it is intended...

    I kind of found a workaround for this, but i expect that Smart Bear may have a look in this issue as well.

     

    1. Ine the Networksuite/Jobs set the delay of the Test VMs to 10 Minutes Timeout.

    2. In Client OS, set the TestComplete Service from Automatic to Automatic(Delayed)

    3. In Client OS Registry, modify Timout of Services from 30.000ms to 60.000-120.000ms

     

    The Reg-Entry is:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ServicesPipeTimeout

    If it is not existising, just create it as DWORD.

    Default Value is 30000, i have set it to 120000 and did not get an error after this.

     

    I will still monitor the VMs to see if this could be a longtime fix.

     

    Cheers,

    Constantin
