Error a020000c / 0x80070057, error at decomposing "" ?

Question

Hello, 
 
 i got the message "Unbekannter Fehler 0x80070057 beim Zerlegen von "". " What i've read, it has to do with Windows junctions, but thats a normal Client, no domain-Controller. 
 Thx in advance,

Hi, 
 Are the computers performing a root-kit scan when they are shutdown? 
 I took a quick look at this on a test machine and I can reproduce that error at the client by simply stopping the savservice during the root-kit phase of a scan. I.e. start a scan my computer, wait until it's finished memory, registry etc and it should tell you when it's moved onto the root-kit phase. During this time, stop the savservice, then check sav.txt and you should see a couple of entries for this error. 
 Using this contrived method, I'm not sure how a message would get sent back to SEC as without the savservice it can't inform the agent of the message. I can only assume that computers are shutting down, which (based on timing conditions) give the computer enough time to do what is necessary to send a message or store one such that it's sent on next restart.? 
 Hope it helps or fits into what you see.
