Hello Expert(s)

In windows 2003 SP2 server if we run "chkdsk /f" in data volume then the
Chkdsk.exe utility incorrectly identifies and resets security descriptors to
default value.

Do you have any idea how to fix that issue because in my environment there
servers with more than 500 GB data and needs chkdsk /f to be run.

Cheers,
AD

Hello Dave,

The KB is for Windows 2003 SP1.

Do we have any other article for SP2.

Thanks,
AD

I didn't see where it is specific to SP1 and that it was corrected in SP2.
If it wasn't corrected in SP2 then I'd say it still applies but calling them
would confirm.

Hello Dave,

It will not allow you to install the hostfix if the server is having SP2.

Thanks,
