Local Security Database and Remapped C

by natecasp . Updated 21 years, 10 months ago

We have a Citrix server that was just reloaded and before loading Citrix the C drive was remapped to T. This was accomplished using the Citrix Remap Drives utility. Everything seems to be working fine except when I attempt to open the Local Security Policy it claims that the database does not exist and the event viewer reports:

services (416) Unable to write a shadowed header for file C:\WINNT\security\templates\spsecupd.sdb.

This is obviously because the C:\WINNT directory is now located at T:\WINNT.

However I searched the registry for any C:\WINNT occurances and nothing was found. I also tried moving the secedit.sdb to another folder outside of T:\WINNT\Security\Database and I can open the database with the Security Configuration snap-in but in the default location it gives me an access denied error. I have checked permissions and they are exactly the same in both scenarios.

Does anyone know where this security template path is set? I think that if I can change it the whole problem will be resolved.

Thanks
