SharePoint Error ID 2159

The above error is logged for the Unified Logging Service. Something to check for:

  • See if Named Pipes is enabled in SQL configuration. If it is, then proceed to the step below:
  • If not, then enable Named Pipes and once that is done restart the services.

Open up SQL Server Management Studio and create a new query. Run the following:

USE master
GO
GRANT VIEW  SERVER STATE TO  “Domain\UserAccount”
GO

Once the query has completed, close SQL Server Management Studio and check the event viewer. The errors should be gone.
