Anything else in the log prior to that message? Are you encountering any problems such as unscheduled shutdowns or difficulty starting the SQL Service?

If you want to get the best answer for your question read faq183-874 and faq183-3179.

There was a shutdown request just prior to this message. Wondering if SS didn't have enough time to write to the event log before the system powered down.

Thanks

I suspect you are correct. I found a number of news group messages about error 1717. Nearly all were associated with a shutdown. No one in the news groups seems to know why this would occur. I don't have an answer but if SQL Server is running okay after restarting, you can probably ignore the message.
