Conflicting SFC results

J

JohnDavid

Running Vista Home Premium.
No problems with system performance or behavior, but I was curious to see if
the System File Checker would find anything. Ran sfc with the /verifyonly
parameter.

Upon completion, it displayed "Windows Resource Protection found integrity
violations. Details are included in the CBS.Log."

Using the guidance in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228/en-us ("How
to analyze the log file entries....SFC.exe program generates..."), I
redirected the sfc entries to a separate file, sfcdetails.txt .

Reviewing that file, I see no indication of a problem; in fact, the results
look exactly like the example given in the above article for a situation
where sfc did not identify any problems with system files.

So it's not clear if there is anything to be concerned about. I could, of
course, run sfc in 'scannow' mode, but am hesitant since my system does not
seem to be broken. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi John,

I have run this command on my machine and have come to the same result. My
machine is fully up to date and is malware free. The only thing I can think
of is that the checklist that SFC uses is that as supplied on the
installation disk and that any differences are due to files that have been
updated through Windows Update.

Thanks for the response. Your analysis of the results sounds good. I was
just taken aback, since my system is also up to date and, I believe, very
clean.

Hello John,
SFC actually reads the manifests for each of the components on the system.
From those it gets the correct version of the file that is supposed to be
projected to be used by Windows.
Any update you install for an OS component has to update the manifests with
the new file information.
So as the system is updated, SFC reads from the manifests and knows that
the files are supposed to be updated.
What is the exact entire message you are getting from SFC?
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Thanks for your response.
When the command 'sfc /verifyonly' completed, the following was displayed
in the command window: "Windows Resource Protection found integrity
violations. Details are included in the CBS.Log."

But, as stated in original post, examination of the [SR] entries in that log
file shows no errors.

I understand the SFC examines system files in groups of 100. When looking
at the entire CBS.log file I see the [SR] entries for each block of 100
files; those entries are timestamped and have progress verbiage ("beginning
verify"...etc). After each group of 100 is a POQ section, which I'm guessing
holds intended repair info. For most of the groups-of-100 the POQ sections
are empty, showing just the start and end of a particular POQ. However, for
some of the groups-of-100, the POQ section has numbered entries that seem to
detail what change/fix is needed (though the syntax is confusing to me).
Following is a section of that CBS.log with the [SR] lines and the first
entry of the corresponding POQ section:

2008-03-14 20:41:01, Info CSI 00000006 [SR] Verifying
100 (0x00000064) components
2008-03-14 20:41:01, Info CSI 00000007 [SR] Beginning
Verify and Repair transaction
2008-03-14 20:41:05, Info CSI 00000008 Repair results
created:
POQ 0 starts:
0: Move File: Source =
[l:192{96}]"\SystemRoot\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames\209a43403586c801650000004815ac11._0000000000000000.cdf-ms",
Destination =
[l:104{52}]"\SystemRoot\WinSxS\FileMaps\_0000000000000000.cdf-ms"
..
..
..
Again, I'm not sure what the POQ entries are trying to tell me, but I
believe that the existence of those relate to that error msg from the command
window, cited above. Further thoughts?? Thanks.
