Doug - I am now using QFE 810144 and the -keepall switch, but I still
have an issue:

When the cloned image is booted on an identical system (I even put the
master CF module back into the original hardware set), the MSDTC
service is "Marked for deletion". This causes a number of services to
fail, notably MSMQ.

It appears that the "fbreseal -keepall" is still stepping on something
that causes the MSDTC service to fail on the next boot. Could this be
a bug in fbreseal?

To resolve it, I have to do the following:

  1. Using the Services applet (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools
-> Services), shut down the "Distributed Transaction Coordinator"
service if it is running.

  2. Close the Services applet and run "C:\WINDOWS\System32\msdtc
-install".

  3. Reopen the Services applet and change the startup type to
"Automatic"

  4. Reboot the machine.

When I do all of this on the target, MSDTC and MSMQ now start and run
as expected!
