FIM: disabled on startup

I have noticed that even after enabling FIM on startup on Windows 7 workstations, they are disabled the next day. anyone else seeing this?

  • How to gather some information that might help below.  All steps should be on the system running FIM/the LEM Agent.

    1. Open a command prompt as an administrator
    2. Run FLTMC, get the results (screenshot)
    3. Run TASKLIST, get the results
    4. Run VERIFIER (Details on verifier are here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/244617 )
      1. Create custom settings
      2. Enable Special Pool, Pool Tracking, I/O Verification, IRP Logging and Miscellaneous Checks
      3. Choose to select driver names from a list
      4. Pick the swfsfltr.sys driver, click FINISH
      5. THE SYSTEM WILL NEED TO REBOOT

    After the reboot, you can re-run VERIFIER and see the state of the FIM driver on the desktop.  Was it "Unloaded" or "Never Loaded"?
