After changing the FSMO rolls to another DC all my 2003 SP1 DCs recorded the
following error:

Error ID 53258

MS DTC could not correctly process a DC Promotion/Demotion event. MS DTC
will continue to function and will use the existing security settings. Error
Specifics: d:\nt\com\complus\dtc\dtc\adme\uiname.cpp:9280, Pid: 1624
No Callstack,
CmdLine: C:\WINNT\System32\msdtc.exe

I fixed this by adding the "create subkey" and "set value" permission under
HKLM\SW\MS\MSDTC to the network service account (the account that is used by
DTC). Has anone else had this issue? Is this the proper fix? Does this open
any additional attack vectors on the DCs?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
John Keating
 
I recently built a new lab with a DC/GC running Win03 SP1. I then ran the
Security Config Wizard with the defaults and yes I have the same error
appearing in the logs.

I have seen other posts with the same fix but nothing official from MS.
