When I try to run "SFC /scannow" on my daughter's PC, it does not run but
gives the following error message:
"Windows File Protection could not initiate a scan of protected system
files.
The specific error code is 0x000006ba [The RPC server is unavailable]."
Following possible leads from a Google search, I have checked three things
in trying to solve this:
1 That the RPC service is running ("Started, Automatic").
2 That the Verisign certificate is present (KB 296241).
3 That the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RpcSs is present.
In case it's relevant, I mention that until recently she was connecting to
the internet via her university network. Having now returned home, she is
connecting via our wireless router. We have changed settings (for example,
email proxy server) as appropriate to get this to work. I just wonder if
there is any other setting relevant to RPC that needs changing. (I have no
idea if SFC /scannow worked whilst she was at university.)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Stephen
