LoadBalancer.RegisterLauncher failed

Here's an irritating error that I bump into lately:

Event Source: Office SharePoint Server Event
Category: Launcher Service
Event ID: 6102
User: N/A
Description: LoadBalancer.RegisterLauncher failed: Unable to connect to the remote server.

This error usually happens when Document Conversions Load Balancer Service is using a wrong service account.
To resolve this error Try the following steps:

1. Configuring the proper Service Accounts

- Central Administration -> Operations.
- Security Configuration -> Service account.
- Click the Windows Service radio button -> select Document Conversions Load Balancer Service.
- Fill in the proper service account.

2. restarting the services.

- Central Administration -> Operations -> Services on Server.
- Click Stop on the Document Conversions Load Balance Service. …And stop the Document Conversions Launcher Service too.
- Start the services and the error will not appear again.
After this procedure the error will disappear.

Folders that may want to excluded from antivirus

If you have seeing the error “Access Denied” when you are trying to upload new documents, it’s likely that you have antivirus Vs Moss problems. Ther are some folders that may want to exclude from antivirus scanning on system with MOSS 2007. most of the time it solved the problem.
If you don't have antivirus agent for MOSS on your system, you may want to leave out those folders. Scanning them will cause errors and weird behavior when files are uploaded.
I recommend excluding the “Microsoft Office Servers” folder. Located in: %drive%\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers

If you - for some reason - don’t want to exclude this folder you may want to exclude the Following folders:


%drive%\\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\12.0\Data. (or different folder that holds the Index files)

%drive%\\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\12.0\Logs

%drive%\\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\12.0\Bin
