With a new installation of 4.1 on a Windows 2000 SP4 box, we get the following event entry when we try to start the service:
Service cannot be started. System.Exception: Error starting the 'SOS 4' server. Please check the server log for more details.
at ClassicService.ClassicService.OnStart(String[] args)
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.ServiceQueuedMainCallback(Object state)
It is the only log event written to the application event log. What does it mean?
Thanks!

Service won't start

We got it working. Actually did two things:
1) Turned off logging as when it was on, the service wouldn't start properly (go figure)
2) Made the domain account used for the service an administrator on the file server where the VSS files live. (NOT a domain administrator as others recommend - that is wrong and dumb).
Frankly, I don't understand why admin rights are needed at all as long as the account has full control to the file share where the VSS files live, but anyways it works now.
