This probably doesnt help, but I get the same error when I shutdown one of
the computers on my domain. The only difference is that it replaces "Toshiba"
with the computer name. Someone told me that some of the blaster viruses mess
with DCOM so I tried running the Blaster removal tools. This didnt help. I
ran all updates on the workstation, again to no avail.

The workstation functions fine, and other than the fact that every time I
shut down that workstation I get this error message every 53 seconds until my
event log is full it doesn't appear to disturb any functionality of either
the server or the workstations. I hope one of us figures out this message, or
someone has a better suggestion.

Some details: I only get the error when the computer is shut down, it doesnt
appear to give me the error when the computer is logged off or in use. The
server is running Windows 2003 Server and the workstation is running Windows
XP Professional.
