ESENT error message in the Application log

[Vinod Kumar]

Hi,
Recently we had a machine crash, got most of the operating
system and software from the backup, got Active directory
working too, everything looks alright but we get an error
message in our application log every second which says..

Services (272) Error - 1811 occurred while opening a log
file c:\winnt\security\edb00026.log.

I don't see this log file in the security directory. How
can I recreate this log file. How ever there is a
edb00025.log and an edb.log file in the same directory.

thanks
Vinod

Is this a viable solution for the problem mentioned
earlier. I found this for a related problem at the MS KB-
278316

1)Open the %SystemRoot%\Security folder, create a new
folder, and then name it "OldSecurity".
2)Move all of the files ending in .log from the %
SystemRoot%\Security folder to the OldSecurity folder.
3)Find the Secedit.sdb file in the %SystemRoot%
\Security\Database folder, and then rename this file
to "Secedit.old".
4)Click Start, click Run, type mmc, and then click OK.
5)Click Console, click Add/Remove Snap-in, and then add
the Security and Configuration snap-in.
6)Right-click Security and Configuration and Analysis, and
then click Open Database.
7)Browse to the %SystemRoot%\Security\Database folder,
type Secedit.sdb in the File name box, and then click Open.
8)When you are prompted to import a template, click Setup
Security.inf, and then click Open.

NOTE: If you receive an "Access denied" message, you can
safely ignore it.
