Hi all;

This is definitely a rights issue. We have seen this several times during
the testing phase of our Win2K rollout last year and there are several areas
that you need to look at:

Make sure that the Administrator (if it is the local machine account) has
god rights.
If it is a Domain administrator account then make sure that the DA has god
rights on the local box. (Right-click My Computer|Choose Manage|Users and
Groups|Groups|Administrators|Add
In User Manager ensure that Domain Administrator is not a member of a more
restrictive group. Keeping in mind that the more restrictive right wins in a
NT/Win2k domain structure.
Lastly - and I do mean lastly - run REGEDT32. navigate to
HKLM/Software|Choose Security|Choose Permissions and provide the DA account
with god writes to this part of the registry.

If this doesn't fix it:

Grab Hair|Pull hard|Go crazy.

Hoping this helps.
