Event IDs 136 and 137 0x80000000000000 in System Log on Windows 2008 R2 Server, Exchange 2010 in Cluster

Question

Hi,
I'm having an issue with one of my exchange 2010 Servers. We had a power outage and upon recovery, I cannot start Services Net.Pipe Listener Adapter and Net.Tcp Listener Adapter (And thus cannot Start IIS and provide Exchange Client Services.) This is a
physical server (Not VMWare or Hyper-V)
The System event log has lots of Event 136's and 137s on Ntfs with the keyword - 0x80000000000000 - The General Messages are: The default transaction resource manager on volume C: encountered an error while starting and its metadata was
reset.  The data contains the error code.
and
The default transaction resource manager on volume OS encountered a non-retryable error and could not start.  The data contains the error code.
XML Output as follows:

When I attempt to start the services - I get the following errors:
The Net.Pipe Listener Adapter service depends on the Windows Process Activation Service service which failed to start because of the following error: 
Transaction support within the specified resource manager is not started or was shut down due to an error.
The Net.Pipe Listener Adapter service depends on the Windows Process Activation Service service which failed to start because of the following error: 
Transaction support within the specified resource manager is not started or was shut down due to an error.
I have tried the "fsutil resource setautoreset true" fix without success.
Any ideas or direction would be much appreciated. Restoring this server will be extremely difficult.
Thanks!

Answer 1

We can close this question.
From an elevated prompt, I ran 'fsutil resource setautoreset true' and attempted to remove the files with .blf and regtrans-ms file extensions from C:\Windows\System32\config\TxR. but these files were locked by system processes. (They are also
tagged with the hidden file attrib so you may not see them at first)
So, I booted the system with a Windows 2008 R2 Install Disk, selected repair OS and selected the command prompt. I then performed a chkdsk /f c: and selected "Y" to unmount the drive. It made some repairs.
With the system booted from the install disk, and chkdsk executed, the locks were freed and I was able to delete the files from C:\Windows\System32\config\TxR.
Once the system rebooted, the services came back fine and everything was back to normal.
