I can't add scripts to be executed at shutdown on the DC. When clicking OK after adding the script, I get the error "The Scripts component failed due to error 5".
I log in as Enterprise Admin, so authentication shouldn't be a problem. I also checked permissions on SYSVOL and its folders and everything looks OK.
Any ideas/pointers/clues ?

Don't know if it's any help, but when I take down one of our 2 servers the other gets an error "Replication failed due to error 5". I can't find a description of this event in TechNet, but it seems to have to do with whether or not the server can access the other server.

Sorry, been there. Error 5 usually indicates missing rights, but that's my point. What access rights do I need here that doesn't come with the setup ?
