Question

Trying to Identify BSOB Issue

Asked by: WaywardS0n

Trying to apply a group policy to a large group of machines. All models work just fine except our DELL 755's. The BSOB is recieved before log in.
I've included the memory dump. How can I put my finger on the file/driver/service that causing me headaches? When setting up the dump file, only choices I had were mini dump or Kernal memory, I expected to see a third option but didn't.

REGISTRY_ERROR (51)
Something has gone badly wrong with the registry.  If a kernel debugger
is available, get a stack trace. It can also indicate that the registry got
an I/O error while trying to read one of its files, so it can be caused by
hardware problems or filesystem corruption.
It may occur due to a failure in a refresh operation, which is used only
in by the security system, and then only when resource limits are encountered.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000004, (reserved)
Arg2: 00000001, (reserved)
Arg3: e41d9638, depends on where Windows bugchecked, may be pointer to hive
Arg4: 00e02d18, depends on where Windows bugchecked, may be return code of
      HvCheckHive if the hive is corrupt.

Are you getting this dump on all your DELL 755's or on only one computer?

 

by: WaywardS0nPosted on 2009-09-04 at 09:37:46ID: 25261239

We are getting the same error 51 from all the dell 755's. The image used to create the image for the 755's was a Dell 745 that they used and loaded onto a 755. This image works great and has for a couple of years. Its not until we apply the group policy with security setttings, registry updates and file permission changes. We have an abundance of other Dell and HP models and no others give us the BSOD. We've created a new image and tested it and it works great. The problem is we have over a 1,000 755's deployed and reimaging that many would be a problem as you can imagine. So, I am trying to find the driver/service/file/registry setting that causing the grief so I can push a solution and then apply the GP.

Thanks for the assist

You seem to be on the right track and have probably just figured it out all on your own.

May I suggest you test by replacing one by one of the drivers until the error dissapears....I'm sure once you narrow this down it will end up being a driver....

Please run some additional Windbg commands...

Have you considered running the driver verifier?       START | Run | cmd | verifier

Hello, WaywardS0n

some functions (nt!NtOpenProcess, nt!NtOpenKey and etc) in the ntoskrnl are hooked by some module. To determine which module hooked them you should perform the command (for example):
u 806234c4
Results should be similar to "jmp mymodule+0xXXX (B9CA62F1)" where "mymodule" is a name of the module which hooked the function, in this case, NtOpenKey.

Hi -

Thank you for running those commands.  I don't believe this has anything to do with Group Policy directly, rather it just lit the fuse.   It appears to me that the very recent update of Norton (NIS, N360 --?) pushed the envelope and the BSODs resulted.    When was Norton updated - before or after the image was created?

The dates on the Norton drivers are very recent -

naveng.sys      Sat Aug 22 01:31:12 2009 (4A8F82A0)
navex15.sys    Sat Aug 22 01:37:19 2009 (4A8F840F)

Not much doubt here that Norton was a huge catalyst primarily because you are running XP SP2 and the new drivers may very well have been written with XP SP3 in mind, now out for 1.5 years.  I think it is time that SP3 be looked at for installation.   The only Windows Updates that are evident to me are the NT Kernel & win32k - Feb 2009 & Apr 2009, respectively.  Other than that, all are either 2001 or 2004.

Also - the ~ 1 year old dormant and most likely corrupt installation of McAfee is certainly not helping matters here in the least.  Mcafee & Norton will go after each other and you will not be the winner.  Use the McAfee Removal Tool</A> to remove these remnants -  

mfehidk.sys  Thu Oct 30 18:38:34 2008 (490A376A)
mfetdik.sys  Thu Oct 30 18:39:56 2008 (490A37BC)

 Also, this Intel PRO/1000 NIC driver is/ will be a big problem - it may cause 0xc0000005 exceptions (memory access violations) -

e1e5132.sys  Fri Apr 13 16:12:48 2007 (461FE440)

There are other older 3rd party drivers from the likes of Creative Solutions (Roxio) from 2005 that can cause trouble as well.

I know you are looking for a quick solution here.  My best guess on this is that the Intel Pro NIC or maybe McAfee clashed with Norton.  No doubt that Norton is in the lead here as the primary contributor to the crash.

Regards. . .

First of all, thank you for taking the time to look at this issue.

I'm going to work with the suggestions given.
1st. try service pack 3.
2nd investigate the NIC driver /remove driver not required (roxio) etc.
3rd try to remove norton and mcafee

Also, here is the BSOD scenerio.
1. Re-image the PC with an image used on all the 755's
2. The computer object is put into an intermediate OU without the GP attached.
3. PC is brought online and attached to the domain.
4. PC is tested by running apps, log offs & on, reboots and power offs.
5. The PC is powered down.
6. The computer object is moved to an OU with the GP attached.
7.The PC is powered on.
8. Before anyone can log on, we get the BSOD

How we discovered the problem to begin with...
Approximately 90mins after attaching the GP to a test group of computers ALL of the 755's delivered the BSOD with or without a users logged in and actively working.

Thanks for the input and I'll let you know the results of the testing.

WaywardS0n:

You mentioned above:  "....... The image used to create the image for the 755's was a Dell 745 that they used and loaded onto a 755. This image works great and has for a couple of years.........We've created a new image and tested it and it works great...."

Has this scenario changed? If it hasn't.....then the problem was solved? Was it not?

 

by: WaywardS0nPosted on 2009-09-09 at 07:36:04ID: 25291712

No.. the problem is, there are over 1300 of these machines. If we can find the fix and push the fix and prevent having to reimage 1300 PCs, that is preferable.

So far, I reloaded the image and applied SP3. Same issue.
Next, work on drivers.

Thanks all...

Try comparing the drivers from the first image with the ones on the second image.... I could almost swear that the problem is there...

Hello, WaywardS0n,

first of all, you have to remove "mcafee" software in my opinion

 

by: WaywardS0nPosted on 2009-09-11 at 06:25:35ID: 31624986

Thanks all! You've each taught me something and for that, I am gratefull.

One thing I don't understand. . .  if this was an image that has been working great for years... how did a 2009 installation of Norton get in here?

As mentioned in my post, I would use the McAfee removal tool  & get rid of the old installation.

Then use the Norton removal tool as well.  It is possible that the McAfee damaged Norton in some manner.

McAfee RTool - http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

Norton RT - ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

I am placing these links in the code box below b/c I don't think the site likes links to EXE files.

Are you sure this image BSODs on more than the one system?

If it is a driver that is the underlying cause the Driver Verifier should be able to flag it.  Please take a look at these instructions -

http://www.techsupportforum.com/2110308-post3.html

Don't run the D/V until Norton, McAfee, Roxio are removed.

When you do run the driver verifier, be ready to encounter another BSOD.  Please get the dump and attach it so that I can take a look at it.  You'll have to rename it so it ends in TXT.  

Also, run Driver Query -

driverquery /v > "%temp%\1" & start notepad "%temp%\1"             --- save it as a text file & attach.

Another big help would be a msinfo32 NFO file - from the cmd/DOS prompt, msinfo32    - save it with the default NFO file ext, then rename TXT & attach.

Post here and I will check the thread throughout the day.  You can also use the email on my profile page &/or send a message to me via the one that wrote the driver verifier post at the TSF forum.  I'll make sure that all is posted back here for all to see.

Regards. . .
