Help required!! No diskmanagement

[Fokke Nauta]

Hi all,

I can no longer use the disk management om my PC (Win2k prof).
To give an example:

Right click on My Computer
Manage
Disk Management
A message shows "Connecting to Logical Disk Manager Service ..." and after a
while a message "Server execution failed" appears. A message "FAILED
connection to Logical Disk Manager Service." pops up.
The Event Viewer does not show anything in particular. The service "Logical
Disk Manager" is configured to start automatically and is up and is running.

Anyone has a clue as to what is wrong?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Fokke Nauta

Did it ever work? Is so did you ever get an exception error closing out of Disk Manager? What kind of Imaging software do you have installed?

I am not sure as to whether it has ever worked or not. I never used it
before.
What do you mean by imaging software? I have not installed Ghost or alike. I
have installed an Epson TWAIN driver (scanner) and Photoshop, Corel Draw,
etc.

Imaging as in Image Software like graphics. I suspect your trouble is Photoshop. So it has never worked. Mmmm... Nothing is known to work until you try it and it works. Software 101. If you have never used Disk Manager and once you have tried to use it, it didn't work it's not going to be easy figuring out the culprit. But I suspect the imaging software Photoshop. If it had worked and you got an exception error closing out of Disk manager I'd be more comfortable saying Photoshop. As it is I don't know.

I will uninstall Photoshop (and if necessary other graphic apps) and give it
a try - just to figure out whether diskmanager works. Why do you think it
may be Photoshop?

Because in Windows 2000 Professional I get these exception errors 0x00000000 when I closed out of Disk Manager almost as soon as I installed these image software products. Photoshop and Jasc's product. Needless to say I don't install them anymore. I do what I need to do with other products.

I hope you can uninstall these products. Uninstall of buggy apps is usually just as buggy.

We should try a search in the knowledge base "Disk Manager error"

This issue can happen if an application changes your DCOM permissions:
1- Select Start/Run.
2- Type DCOMCNFG.
3- Select the Default Properties tab.
Confirm the settings enabled.
"Default Authentication Level" should be "Connect".
"Default Impersonation Level" should be "Identify".
4- Select the Default Security tab.
Select the "Default Access Permissions" "Edit Default" button.
Ensure the "Registry Value Permissions" list is either empty (with NO
accounts defined), or, if accounts are defined, the System account MUST be
included.
If the list is empty or unchanged, select "Cancel".
If the list is populated to include the System account, select "O.K."
5- Select the "Default Launch Permissions" "Edit Default" button. And
ensure the "Registry Value Permissions" list contains a minimum of the
following: \\\Administrators, Interactive, System.
6- Select the "Default Configuration Permissions" "Edit Default"
button. Ensure the "Registry Value Permissions" list contains a minimum of
the following:
Administrators Power Users Users Creator Owner
Everyone System
7- Select the Applications tab.
Select the {000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} application properties
(this is the MSIServer application).
Ensure the "Authentication Level" is set to "Default" on the General tab.
Select the Security tab.
Ensure "Use default access permissions", "Use default launch permissions"
and "Use default configuration permissions" are selected. If not, ensure
the System account is defined with all permissions.
8- Restart the system.

Let me know if this helps at all
