i'm not seeing a pattern for when it comes up... sometimes 15min apart....sometimes only a few milliseconds.

Status code: 0xC000040A
relates to STATUS_NO_S4U_PROT_SUPPORT
Looks like a service locally having problems with authentication (e.g. service running under system credentials?)

Are you using diskkeeper? Found some hints in a different forum that updating diskkeeper to a newer version and setting firewall to manual instead of disabled did solve th problem in one case.

Do you have IIS running on this machine?

ASKER

i'm not using diskkeeper.  i saw the posts in the other forum that pertained to diskkeeper...

yes, i do have IIS running on this computer (and wss 3.0)
Could you identify the caller process id (840 in your event example above) in Task Manager (Tab Processes) if you add the PID (Process Identifier) to the colums?
i tried adding that column to task manager and don't see pid 840.  however, this is a terminal server, and so i don't see the pids from other sessions.

is there a way to dump all pids from the cmd line?
