Has anyone encountered the error message 0x000006ba (The RPC server is
unavailable) when doing sfc /scannow. It also says Windows file protection
could not initiate a scan of protected system files. If anyone knows how to
correct this please respond.
 
Hi David,

See if the information in this MSKB article helps you to resolve the problem:

Windows File Protection may not start

Although it references Windows 2000, it may also be applicable to XP
