W2K ESENT Event ID 454, error -515 every 5 minutes

[Guest]

On a Windows 2000, SP4 domain controller two messages are posted to the
application log every 5 minutes (for the past 3 weeks). Other than the log
messages, there is no other apparent impact of the problem.

The first message is an error message:
Type: Error
Source: ESENT
Category: Logging/Recovery
Event ID: 454
Description:
services (300) Database recovery/restore failed with unexpected error -515.

This is followed by a warning message:
Type: Warning
Source: SceCli
Category: None
Event ID: 1202
Description:
Security policies are propagated with warning. 0x4b8 : An extended error has
occurred.
For best results in resolving this event, log on with a non-administrative
account and search http://support.microsoft.com for "Troubleshooting Event
1202s".

The apparent closest KB article that I can find is 278316. However, the
error sequence in that case consists of 4 messages, and the error code for
the 454 event in that case is -530 rather than -515.

Are my symptoms close enough to KB 278316 to consider it a match?

Thanks for your advice,

Ken

I can't say that I had to ever troubleshoot that myself but usually you can
find helpful information at http://www.eventid.net such as below for Event
ID 454.

The link below may also be helpful as you may have a corrupt secedit.sdb on
that server and can use esentutl to check for that.
