Error Adding User to Administrator Group

[Andre]

I seem to be having a problem adding a user (any user) to
the Administrators (or other) Group. I get the error:

Local Users and Groups

"An error occured attempting to create the Object Picker"

"An error with no description has occured"

Also when I go the group, I see the group icons but not
name beside them. Something has gotten messed up. Is there
a way to fix this?

Hi Andre,

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you have stopped the Remote Registry service on
the domain controller to which the Active Directory Users and Computers
snap-in is connected. This error, however, is not reported when the Active
Directory Users and Computers snap-in is connected to the primary domain
controller (PDC) operations master.

NOTE: When you attempt to add users to a local group, the domain that the
domain controller is a member of, is not listed. However, all trusted
domains are listed.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior:
Start the Computer Management Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
Click to expand Services And Applications, and then click Services.
Set the Startup type of the Remote Registry service to Automatic, and then
start the service.
