SYMPTOMS
When you view the log file for the Cluster service (Cluster.log), the following entry may appear multiple times in the log:

[ClRtlCopySecurityDescriptor] MakeSelfRelativeSD failed, 0x00000551



CAUSE
When the Cluster service copies or updates a security descriptor, a call is made to make sure that the security descriptor is self-relative. If the descriptor is already self-relative, the error message may appear multiple times in the log file for the Cluster service.



RESOLUTION
This error is harmless; you can generally ignore these error messages. Error code 0x00000551 means &quot;A security descriptor is not in the right format (absolute or self-relative).&quot;
