Cameron,
Thanks for responding.
Yes, my process was:
Boot to safe mode.
Rename the files as Glenn stated, including secedit.sdb, then reboot to
normal
mode.
In my case the secedit.sdb file does not get recreated. I even attempted to
recreate it manually using either the Security Configuration and Analysis
console (which I described in my previous message), or the command: "Secedit
/configure /db secedit.sdb /cfg 'DC Security.inf' /overwrite /log dcsec.log"
I even tried copying my secedit.sdb from my Win2000 machine. I get the same
1202 event and either 0x428 or 0x4b8.
BTW. I put my Win2003 original back in place. Until 3:35 this morning, I
receive the 1202 error with a code of 0x428. After 3:35 AM it changes to
0x4b8 (at this time I start receiving the 'error deleting scp' in
Winlogon.log. I have pasted the log at this time period:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** This generates a 0x428 - An exception error occurred in the service when
handling the control request ***

If I try to view / edit my local security policy (secpol), I can access
certain parts with no error. When I attempt to access \Computer
Configuration\Windows Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment or
...\Security Options, I recieve an error on secedit.sdb: An extended error has
occurred.
I believe its time to call MS, I can find no other info. There is a hotfix
for this error - KB 320099. Cameron, I wonder, do you already have the
patch, and maybe this is why you were able to resolve your issue?
My scesrv.dll version is: 5.2.3790.0, the hotfix version is: 5.2.3790.132
Thanks for listening
🙂
