This error is benign as long as you are not enforcing quotas for Active Directory objects and if you are the only downside is that a user may be able to create more or less objects than they should. The issue can occur on a DC or a GC and one of the ways it occurs is when SDProp fixes-up missing or corrupt security descriptors on objects. To correct the problem you can boot the machine into Directory Service Restore Mode and then run the following commands from ntdsutil:Semantic database analysis
rebuild quota
Once done, reboot back to DS & check for 2065 which signals a successful rebuild of the table.Thanks,-Steve

Hard to say how much of a problem that is. I've seen references to it being a problem with the GC which is why I asked. It would be something where you'd want to remove the GC role, and then re-add it/rebuild it based on what I've seen. I wouldn't have expected it to go away completely unless it only occurs at specific times such as during backup (not that it would be triggered that way in this case).Given the timing, it might be a good idea to schedule it for rebuild at some point in the future post holiday season. If for nothing else to ensure it is in a known good state and has no legacy issues.Al

One of the things that was done most probabbly was to standardize antivirus to SAV 9 - thats pretty much it.Seems like after another reboot this error doesnt appear yet (only 1 event in the log).Should this be a major alarm - is it recommended to demote and re-promote? (I hate to do this at holiday season :)Thanks Al!
Thank you and have a splendid day!

Freddy, is this also a global catalog server?It is a concern as this should not be something you see on normal servers. Also, can you describe what changed in the environment recently and what else is running on that server?Al

Found an interesting events, havent been able to find any additional info on this yet, but from the look of it its only happening in this domain controller and it seems to be responding well.
Is this much of a concern?

Personally, I don't think I'd trust a DC that I inherited if on the first day I got it, it exhibits issues and I don't have a known state for it. Maybe I'm superstitious or maybe I've been bit a few too many times in similar situations.
Thanks for the explanation though, that helps a great deal.
