walkerpbus Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hello, Are you logged in as the local or the domain administrator to the computer? Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Thanks for your reply, sir. I have "limited" domain administrator privilieges. With the software working right, I can add users & computers to the domain, set or reset their passwords. I have Windows 7 SP1 & I have attempted to put Active Directory on it which hasn't completely succeeded. The MMC problem occurs when I attempt to execute dsa.msc occasioned by installation of Windows6.1-KB958830-x86-RefreshPkg.msu so I am hindered in my duties of a domain sub-administrator, so to speak. I hope I have explained the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hello, I think you would need to verify that you have sufficient privileges on the computer to allow the snap-in to initialize in the MMC. It sounds like it cannot do that because the account that it's running under (e.g., yours) doesn't have enough privileges on the system for it to do so.

I normally have administrative privileges, but In answer to you I tried "run as administrator" but It failed with same error message! The module was dsa.msc.

walkerpbus Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 let's get to the bottom of your security privileges. go here - a file present itself for download- http://www.stpworks....ationTester.zip save it somewhere that you can find... open a cmd prompt, run as administrator. in the cmd prompt, navigate to where you unzipped the file example - C: ... \ImpersonationTester\ImpersonationTester\ImpersonationTester\bin\Debug\ImpersonationTester.exe to use it, from the cmd prompt type: (username is the username you log onto your pc with when you turn it on in the morning.) ImpersonationTester.exe username example c:\what!>impersonationtester user you will be prompted for the password for whatever username you put in (enter your password.) example Password for .\user: ******** you will get output like this: copy and paste it as your response. BEFORE impersonation: SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege SeSecurityPrivilege SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege SeLoadDriverPrivilege SeSystemProfilePrivilege SeSystemtimePrivilege SeProfileSingleProcessPrivilege SeIncreaseBasePriorityPrivilege SeCreatePagefilePrivilege SeBackupPrivilege SeRestorePrivilege SeShutdownPrivilege SeDebugPrivilege SeSystemEnvironmentPrivilege SeChangeNotifyPrivilege SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege SeUndockPrivilege SeManageVolumePrivilege SeImpersonatePrivilege SeCreateGlobalPrivilege SeIncreaseWorkingSetPrivilege SeTimeZonePrivilege SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege AFTER impersonation: SeShutdownPrivilege SeChangeNotifyPrivilege SeUndockPrivilege SeIncreaseWorkingSetPrivilege SeTimeZonePrivilege Press ENTER to exit clipboard is empty, sir. please advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerpbus Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Am I supposed to save anything while in CMD mode to get it into the clipboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerpbus Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 as goretsky said, i suspect you do not have the privileges you believe you have. as i said in the other thread, 1. try another machine - a co-worker's for example. you have not done that. this will isolate the problem for us. 2. you said someone granted you privileges - i asked you then to go to that someone for help. did you do that? here are some other ideas - go to your boss and ask for help. if (s)he is of no help, go to your systems administration people and get one of those folks to help. their breadth and depth of knowledge will quickly resolve your issue. your co-workers will be willing to let you know what you privileges are and why you cannot do what you'd like. (none of us work (i suppose) at your company. we cannot know your privilege level.) Thank you for your efforts. To answer some of your suggestions: 1. It works for me on an XP machine. 2. I've tried the other suggestions you made such as ask my boss, ask a systems administrative person, etc. . All I can think of to do is to make a virtual XP machine & upload the XP version, which is available to our department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerpbus Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 I've accidentally gotten this fixed. How can I close this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Just post how you solved it and we can say {solved} in the topic. We don't actually close threads usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerpbus Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Just post how you solved it and we can say {solved} in the topic. We don't actually close threads usually. I think I got it going by using the CTRL panel & enabling the RSAT Services completely. Edited May 14, 2012 by walkerpbus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
