Post subject: Help Chkdsk gone mad
Hi All,

I am running Windows 2003 Server. I installed Windows Updates and restarted.

Chkdsk immediately started running. That was fine except it started saying 'Replacing invalid security id with default security id for file x" for all my files. From reading the MS website this is replacing all my Security. I have 1200 Users each with their own home directory security. I have no idea what is going wrong and why it is doing that.

I just hard restarted it. The drive appears to be fine with no permissions changed but I am still quite curious why it keeps wanting to run CHKDSK and replace the security Id.

Any ideas?

Lara

Do you have any event log errors being logged? Does it repeatedly do it every single time you restart the server?

Hi,

No there are no event log errors. The drives are fine. What happened I think is I have a Journalism folder with about 20GB of HUGH picture files. The security on the folder got messed up somehow so Windows Chkdsk was having a fit. I reset security manually. Now I will try restarting the server again.

Cheers,

Lara
