Admin Service Wont Start

Hello there
Today ive ran into a problem with the Admin Service refusing to start. Not had a problem like this before, ive got nothing in the event logs which would suggest why this is happening so its a little difficult to work out why this is happening. Does anyone know any reasons why the service would fail to start? I get an Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. Any ideas would be appreciated!

One thing you could try is go into the properties of the Admin Service within Services.msc and select the Logon tab
Re-enter the Vault Admin password and attempt to restart the service.

If resetting the password doesn't work, you should get a dtrace of the Admin Service while it's attempting to start up.

Also look in the System Log in Event Viewer for DCOM errors when starting the Admin Service
