Administrator has lost security rights for installing devices

[Erika Picher]

Since an update from SP1 without any security patches to SP4 with

ALL new security patches (it took many hours !!!), my administrator

do not have the right to install and configure devices. Also calling

device-Manager (start -> configuration -> system -> device-list) is

now unpossible. My administrator is in group (administration (in

german "Administratoren"). When I am trying to install new devices

I get following german screen:

"Sie haben keine ausreichenden Sicherheitsberechtigungen, um

Geräte an diesem Computer zu installieren. Wenden Sie sich an

den Administrator oder melden Sie sich als Administraor an, und

wiederholen Sie den Vorgang."


Translation:



You do not have enough security right to install/add devices to

your computer. Please contact your administrator or login as

administrator and try again.

Thank you for your help

You might want to check the user rights assignments on the problem machine
and verify the administrator has the right to load/unload device drivers...
This can be done locally via gpedit.msc. If the problem happens to more
than one PC in your domain then it might be a problem w/ one of your domain
policies.

In addition. this KB link on using secedit to restore security settings to default
may be of help. I suggest try to use it by first appending /areas user_rights to the
command and then rebboting. --- Steve
