Windows Server 2003 SP1 MSDTC Errors After DCPROMO

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

After promoting a Windows Server 2003 server with SP1 installed to a DC, I'm
receiving the following 2 warnings in the event log when the MSDTC service
starts.

------------------

EventID: 53258

MS DTC could not correctly process a DC Promotion/Demotion event. MS DTC
will continue to function and will use the existing security settings. Error
Specifics: d:\srvrtm\com\complus\dtc\dtc\adme\uiname.cpp:9280, Pid: 1148
No Callstack,
CmdLine: C:\WINDOWS\system32\msdtc.exe

EventID: 53258

MS DTC could not correctly process a DC Promotion/Demotion event. MS DTC
will continue to function and will use the existing security settings. Error
Specifics: %1

------------------

I have tried installing SP1 on a few other servers which already were DCs
and there were no MSDTC problems, so I'm not sure exactly what's going on.
Everything on the DC seems to be functioning properly with the exception of
these warnings being logged. I came across a few old postings that note if
DFS isn't started you may see warnings like these, but DFS is definitely up
and running.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jason
