SYMPTOMS
Event ID 2000 appears occasionally in the event log. The event is described by the following message:

The server's call to a system service failed unexpectedly.

The data field (in words) looks like the following example:

0000: 00040000 00540001 00000000 c00007d0

0010: 00000000 c000000f 00000000 00000000

0020: 00000000 00000000 05180bc5



CAUSE
Event ID 2000 is caused by a client trying to delete a non-existent file on a NetWare server through Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW). This doesn't appear to cause any problems other than the error message in the Event Log.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
