Getting lots of the following error in Notification Server a.log files:

Process: aexsvc.exe (1936)
Thread ID: 10096
Module: AltirisNativeHelper.dll
Source: Altiris.NS.Utilities.RemoteServiceMgr
Description: Failed to open the Service Console Manager on X.X.X.. Return value=0, Error:800706ba

Cause

The Notification Server's Microsoft Remote Procedure. Call (RPC) services and/or Microsoft Remote Procedure Call (RCP) Locator service was stopped.

Resolution

Make sure that the Notification Server's Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service (provided by Microsoft) is started.

Click Start > Run and enter "services.msc". When the Services window opens, scroll down to Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service and make sure it is started. If it is not, right-click on the service and click Start.
