We are a 2003/SP1, XP/SP2 enviorment. 2 DCs which are both DNS/GC servers.
I am having a problem with one of our DCs. This DC holds all FSMO roles. It seems out of nowhere, the DFS service is using 99% of the CPU, which in turn is slowing everything down. We currently do not use DFS. Stopping the DFS service takes care of the problem. Any ideas why the service is hogging the CPU?
Also, while troubleshooting the DFS service I rebooted the DC a couple of times. Now I am slammed with Events 1058 and 1030 (shown below)in the App Logs

Description:
Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine that describes the reason for this.
I have verified that the SYSVOL directory is accessible and everything has the correct permissions.
Another odd thing...I can access GPMC from my MMC on my workstation and Edit a GPO. However, if I open GPMC on the affected DC and try to edit a GPO, I get Denied.
A couple of more errors I have which are in the System Log...
