Active Directory Compression Service Continuously Starting and Stopping

Symptoms​

You may see the following symptoms in your environment:

  • The Active Directory Compression Service starts and stops every 60 seconds.
  • There are many events with Event ID 7036 stating that the Active Directory Compression Service entered the Started or Stopped state.

Cause​

Windows generates these events as they are hard coded into the Windows System.

Resolution​

This notification is expected behavior. If you see these information messages, it means that the Active Directory collection works correctly. Unfortunately, these notifications cannot be stopped as they are hard coded into the Windows System, and it is Windows that generates these events.
