Further update, I found out that awindows patch was added a couple of months ago and it hung up. Do you think we could try simply rebooting ot could this make things worse?
I am inclined to call Microsoft to remote in?

I restarted the services and now have no errors, will monitor but looks good :)
Are the directory services working? Is it not working or did you just find the error in the event viewer
