Web Client Error: The service cannot be started either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

We have seen a couple cases where customers are getting the error message below in the Event Viewer when attempting to spin up a Web Client session. If you happen to see the error be sure that you verify that the following Windows Services are running on your Web Client Server: Application Information and Secondary Logon. In the customer environment I was troubleshooting, the Application Information service was running, but the Secondary Logon service was disabled. We had to enable the service and start it before we were able to login to the Web Client. 

ERROR:
The service cannot be started either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

Thanks and have a great day!

    Thanks Ross,

    Fixed an issue with Windows 2012 R2, I'd been looking at for a couple of days.  (GP2013 SP2)
