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

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=296241

     

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

     

     

     

    Regards,
