Why would services.msc & services.exe be "Access Denied" in WinXP?
Why would services.msc & services.exe be "Access Denied" in WinXP as
administrator? The only user enabled on the WinXP SP2 desktop is "administrator". This works perfectly: - Right click "My Computer" & press "manage" to start Windows XP "Computer Management", then click "Services & Applications", then click "Services". Yet these all pop up an "Access is denied" error! - Start, Run, services.msc - Start, Run, c:\windows\system32\services.msc - Doubleclicking on windows\system32\services.msc - - Start, Run, services.exe - Start, Run, c:\windows\system32\services.exe - Doubleclicking on windows\system32\services.exe Checking "attributes" on Microsoft "Services and Controller Application" "services.exe" & Microsoft "Common Console Document" "services.msc" shows "Read-only" is NOT checked & "Hidden" is NOT checked.

Why would services.msc & services.exe be "Access Denied" in WinXP?
Hi Susan,
this can happen in some situations. first: what version of windows xp do you use: Home or Pro? If Pro, are you inside a Windows Domain Area, controlled by a domain controler with gpo- restrictions (Group Policy Objects), the domain controler can deny access to mmc snap-ins. On local GPO's check the restrictions on the user-configuration-administrative templates -Microsoft Management Console -Restricted/allowed Snap-Ins I own a german XP, so this is a on-the-fly translation from geman to english. i am sure, that the nodes have different names under english xp...

Yet, inexplicably, the Computer Management GUI pops up when I right click on My Computer and press "Manage". Is this "computer managent" GUI the same or different from what should have happened when I tried to execute the services.msc file? Where is it set that the services.msc file have its access denied by the administrator? This is all very confusing, but interesting nonetheless! Susan |

Why would services.msc & services.exe be "Access Denied" in WinXP?
It probably is because you do not have proper permissions to the file
services.msc. Look at the security properties. You would need at least read/list/execute permissions and not be a member of any group [including everyone/users] that has deny permissions to that file. When you use Computer Management you are not using the file services.msc to open Computer Management even though you can access services via Computer Management. The free utility filemon can be very helpful in tracking down such problems looking for access denied under the result column. Filemon will record lot of entries in the log but you can use options - filter and enter access denied in the highlight box to quickly find pertinent entries. --- Steve http://www.sysinternals.com/ --- link to filemon.

You would need to look at permissions in the security tab of the properties
of the file. If you see no security tab then you will have to disable simple file sharing by opening Windows Explorer and then selecting tools/folder options/view - use simple file sharing that you would want to uncheck.

Hmm. Your permissions look fine for services.msc. and there are no deny
permissions assuming you were looking at the services.msc in the \windows\system32 folder. The advanced tab is for defining special permissions which allows more granular control of NTFS permissions but those permissions look fine also. What is the exact error you get when you are denied access and when you look in the application log via Event Viewer in Computer Management are there any warnings [Software Restriction Policies, etc] that may be related to running services.msc?? If you can run rsop.msc do so and check to see if you have any Group Policy restrictions configured particularly under administrative templates/Windows components/Microsoft Management Console and administrative templates/system. Beyond that I would use the filemon tool to try and track down where access is being enied. --- Steve "Susan Sharm" wrote in message oups.com...

Likewise when I Start, Run, rsop.msc (whatever that is), I get "Access Denied". After attempting services.msc & rsop.msc, I right-clicked "My Computer", pressed "Manage", selected the "Event Viewer" in the resulting "Computer Management" console. Three items were available, "Application", "Security", & "System". I am very confused about what I see. For example, if I sort by date the "Application" selection, I see multiple events (from McAfee VirusScan perhaps?) of the format: - Type=Error, Date=11/6/2005, Time=9:22:43PM, Source=McLogEvent, Category=none, Event=1006, User=N/A, Computer=SUSAN Description=Task Manager : Service Error : MID Configuration Applicator: Password authentication failed. Likewise, when I run filemon.exe, there is so much output that I am not sure what exactly I am looking for. I see very many entries in filemon.exe of the format, but maybe this is of interest: - #=24, Time=10:32:19 PM, Process=explorer.exe:1816, Request=QUERY INFORMATION, Path=C:\windows\sytem32\services.msc, Result=SUCCESS, Other=Attributes: D - #=77, Time=10:33:25 PM, Process=explorer.exe:1816, Request=QUERY INFORMATION, Path=C:\WINDOWS\system32\rsop.msc, Result=SUCCESS, Other=Atributes: C If I look at the wmiprov.log, I see a zillion entries of: (Sun Nov 06 22:22:48 2005.2117284) : (Sun Nov 06 22:22:49 2005.2118325) : WDM call returned error: 4201 (Sun Nov 06 22:22:49 2005.2118325) : *************************************** (Sun Nov 06 22:22:49 2005.2118325) : The instance name passed was not recognized as valid (Sun Nov 06 22:22:49 2005.2118325) : *************************************** (Sun Nov 06 22:22:49 2005.2118325) : The instance name passed was not recognized as valid(Sun Nov 06 22:22:49 2005.2118325) : (Sun Nov 06 22:22:50 2005.2119377) : WDM call returned error: 4201 (Sun Nov 06 22:22:50 2005.2119377) : *************************************** If I look in c:\windows\system32\WBEM\Logs\wbemess.log, I see millions of entries of: (Sun Oct 30 22:32:01 2005.2581922) : NT Event Log Consumer: could not retrieve sid, 0x8005100 (Sun Oct 30 22:32:40 2005.2621459) : NT Event Log Consumer: could not retrieve sid, 0x80051003 (Sun Oct 30 22:39:25 2005.3026141) : NT Event Log Consumer: could not retrieve sid, 0x80051003 (Sun Oct 30 22:39:34 2005.3035284) : NT Event Log Consumer: could not retrieve sid, 0x80051003 (Sun Oct 30 22:39:34 2005.3035284) : Failed to log an event: 1F Looking at C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM\Logs\wbemprox.log, I see entries like (Sun Oct 30 22:29:34 2005.3035354) : ConnectViaDCOM, CoCreateInstanceEx resulted in hr = 0x80005003 (Sun Oct 30 22:29:34 2005.3035424) : ConnectViaDCOM, CoCreateInstanceEx resulted in hr = 0x80005003 (Sun Oct 30 22:29:35 2005.3035815) : ConnectViaDCOM, CoCreateInstanceEx resulted in hr = 0x80005003 Does any of this make sense to you?
