JSI Tip 2705. Windows 2000 SP1 install generates Windows File Protection error messages?

When you install Service Pack 1, your event viewer may contain many Windows File Protection (WFP) error messages, similar to the following:

The system file c:\winnt\system32\xenroll.dll could not be copied into the DLL cache. The specific error code is 0x0000000 \[The operation completed successfully.\] This file is necessary to maintain system stability.

The system file c:\winnt\system32\inetsrv\smtpadm.dll could not be copied into the dll cache. The specific error code is 0x00000002 \[The system cannot find the file specified.\] This file is necessary to maintain system stability.

The system file c:\winnt\system32\gdi32.dll could not be copied into the DLL cache. The specific error code is 0x800b0100 \[No signature was present in the subject.\] This file is necessary to maintain system stability.

This is a problem that was corrected in SP1, but the updated SFC.DLL for the System File Checker (SFC) doesn't function until restart.

You may ignore these errors.
