log on with Admin previlage n try to access.

[Shaji]

i am only the administrator i have full access

whenever u r getting the message access denied it means permission are denied.rt click on the dsa.msc file and check the permissions in its properties.
and also check other .msc file.and tell us also which antivieus u r using.

[Shaji]

we have full permissions over dsa.msc file

we are using symantic antivirus

hi, I have the same problem with w2003 sp2, when I try to execute (logged as administrator) any .msc I receive a message "access is denied", but if I run it using "Run As" it work fine...

What is wrong on my server? How can I fix it?

any help? link? blog? comment?

Thanks a lot in advance

Yeah!! Some time due to some unexpected cause, MSC file's not associted with MMC extension to open.

Serch DSA.msc (Systemroot) Right click open with MMC . It should solve the problem.

Let us know
