We're also experiencing this problem. I'm also seeing mysterious shadow copy errors that I suspect may be related. Shadow copy is turned off for all drives on this server, yet the errors persist. Also using McAfee Virus Scan 8i patch 16. Re-applying Windows Server 2003 Sp2 seems to stop the problems for awhile, but the next time updates are installed it returns. Our virtual to physical server migration tool can't identify the operating system.
