Event IDs 6482, 7076 and 6398 on SharePoint 2007 server solved

The application log of one of the sharepoint farm servers filled with the event id’s 6482, 7076 and 6398. On the Technet forum I found a link to KB article 946517. The hotfix descripted in this article solved the errors on the SharePoint farm.

The hotfix is for Windows 2003 and 2008.

The contents of the errors was:
