We have two servers running server 2003 with RAID 5. All went well with that until I had to restore an image of the C: drive. That's when USN rollback occurred. I noticed it from the logs. I followed Paul's article and it's back up and running smoothly. I'm glad I didn't have all the other problems, but I'm printing this article with all the comments because it's worth a million bucks. Thanks. I experienced a USN rollback yesterday because I used terabyte unlimited image for DOS and BootIt Bare Metal to increase the size of my C: (OS) drive without re-installing.

You'll need to look into those specific KCC errors you're getting to determine what they mean. This post deals with a pretty specific scenario that can be diagnosed using the information here and in the Microsoft article linked to at the start.

But I have a question on point 3 you say "on a healty dc" cleanup metadata. We have 9 dc in our forest the first of this was virtualized two times so it caused the problem. The second dc in the same site present also a lot of warning about kcc but the others dc not. Do you think that also the dc2 has now some problem ? thanks a lot for yr reply Hi,

Luckily I knew to look for it, and using your instructions, took care of it. Thanks!! Awesome instructs and a MUST BOOKMARK for any AD Admin.

As you've obviously learned recently, don't just take VM snapshots of the DC's and expect to be able to roll back to them.

The fact that your DC's Netlogon service pauses every time you restart is a strong indicator that the impact of the USN rollback is still being seen in your environment.
