Rapid Recovery VMware Proxy service does not start, and events 7000, 7009, and/or 7011 are logged

Log Name: System
Source: Service Control Manager
Date: 6/28/2016 12:31:20 AM
Event ID: 7000
Task Category: None
Level:  Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: win2012r2-rrcr1
Description:
The Dell Data Protection | Rapid Recovery VMware Proxy Service service failed to start due to the following error: 
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

This issue occurs when the core server is taking a longer amount of time to start the Rapid Recovery VMware Proxy service. If the time allotted is exceeded when starting Rapid Recovery VMware Proxy service attempts to start automatically, then the Service Control Manager will time-out.

In severe CPU contention cases especially for Rapid Recovery core installed in virtual environments, manually starting the service later may not even work as starting the Rapid Recovery VMware Proxy service consistently needs more than 30 seconds to correctly start up.

To resolve this issue, modify the registry to increase the default time-out value for the service control manager referenced in the Microsoft KB:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922918

To increase this value to 2 mins (120 seconds), follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.

2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control

3. In the right pane, locate the ServicesPipeTimeout entry. Note If the ServicesPipeTimeout entry does not exist, you must create it. To do this, follow these steps:
a. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
b. Type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER

4. Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.

5. Click Decimal, type 120000, and then click OK. This value represents the time in milliseconds before a service times out.

Note: 120000 milliseconds (2 minutes) is equal to what the default configuration should be.  You may find you need increase this number.  300000 (5 minutes) may be more suitable.

6. Restart the computer.

Note: This workaround may resolve the problem where the service does not start.
