Ntds error

[Paul]

We are continuously getting the error below. We have
logged on as directory services restore mode and ran
semantic checker and go fixup. It made no difference.
This is happening on the PDC and BDC even though we've
stopped the BDC from being a global catalog. Any ideas to
fix this would be much appreciated.

Is this what you are seeing? This was taken from http://support.microsoft.com/?id=265089


This behavior occurs because explicit or inherited NTFS permissions on the folder that contains the Active Directory database files and log files (or on their parent folders) are too restrictive. Events logged include:
