the RPC server is unavailable on windows 7 stand alone logon

To: All RPC server is unavailable on windows 7 stand alone logon

   I never did solve this problem. I did not have a chance to try acerisftw's solution my problem started back in July 6th, and I needed the use of my notebook, So I had no choice but to reformat the HD and started from sctatch. still not done re-installing my stuff.. grrrr.. 

   After reading the posts, and as I always ask when a problem asises, "what has changed", I am 99% sure that it was the Office 2010 Beta remover that caused this. It must be specific to an instalation, or a product version, or perhaps hardware.  I see no other commonality, but people are not posting Operating systems or hardware on this thread. If it was the Office Beta remover software by itself as the problem, we would see a whole lot more posts and complaints in the forums. So my conclusion it is the Office 2010 Beta remover AND another factor(s) in combination.

To repost my specs at the tme of the crash:

HP dv9000 4 gig ram

Stand alone - no Domain or homegroup

Windows 7 Ultimate installed since it was released

fingerprint reader installed, but I get the same error using a password 

up to date on service packs, MS Defender, AVG (free ver), Malware (free ver), Spybot (free ver)

The 2010 Beta was from the public site. The Win 7 Ultimate was a corporate MAK key. The Office uninstaller was from the MS Public site.

Running a variety of basic sofware, CS4 was on, No programming, debugging or network software.

IE, Firefox, Itunes... not a lot of plugins....  just standard stuff..

Anyone see a common element here ?

   I have been avoiding installing the Office 2010 release on two other computers as I was hoping there migh be a fix before the beta expired.

   One of the computers is very similar HP Laptop to the one that this happened to. I will be trying to move it to the Office 2010 Release in the next few days (I will make an image 1st!).

   I will let you know my success of failure..   :-)

Hi turbo, You are right, it is from the office remover. What I did was that I resotred to an earlier point in time and instead of uninstalling office technical preview 2010 x64 to install office 2010 x32, I bought the office x64 version of office so I won't get the error message: You can't install 32-bit office when you have 64-bit office installed. Thanks

A definate solution: (only works with windows 64-bit, or atleast it I think so) step 1:Download this: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility.shtml Step 2: Download This http://www.refusetosuffer.com/downloads/removeoffice2007/RipOutOffice2007.zip Step 3: Create a system restore point step 4: Run the software mentioned in step 2 Step 5: Run the software mentioned in Step 1, then go in start menu and type in clean and "Windows Install Clean-up utility" Should come up Step 6: Navigate to the Microsoft Office (in the utility mentioned above) and click remove Step 7: Restart, and voila! *NOTE: I am not responsibe for any damage this method causes. *NOTE 2: The microsoft office removal tool (here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301) is a more straight forward method, however, this caused a fatal error on my windows 7 pc, therefore, I don't reccommend it. It causes the error on logon: RPC server is unavaillable

Okay I've got a SOLUTION!!! :D IT"S FIXED

I uninstalled Office Beta 2010 this morning and when restarted the RPC Service unavailable yadda yadda couldn't log in

Okay F8>Repair>Run CMD then Bring up regedit>File>Export (Just get the explorer open)

What I've noticed is that this "repair" state is in the virtual "X Drive" so any changes made to Registry doesn't really affect the REGEDIT of your normal System when it boots

Okay now Navigate to your System Drive (REMEMBER THAT THIS REGEDIT CMD etc. IN THE REPAIR STATE IS ALL ON A VIRTUAL X:\ DRIVE SO GET INTO YOUR NORMAL SYSTEM DRIVE)

C:\Windows\system32\config (usually C:)

Rename the File "SYSTEM" to "SYSTEM2" or similar. (These files are your registry hive files)

There's a folder called "Regback" which seems to be regular backups of your registry, copy the "system" from there into the "config" folder

Restart and YOU ARE DONE :D:D:D *happy*

Okay im not such a techy "coding" user and all that and if it wasn't for u guys I wouldn't have gotten it fixed (I didn't know what to do at first so i fiddled with wat u guys said) The n00B got it fixed in 1 morning though :D:D:D:D

Thanks a million guys and I hope this helps u
