Win2K – Can no longer access Disk Manage

by michael.b.simmons . Updated 25 years, 6 months ago

I think this started when I ran DCPROMO to promote my Server from Stand Alone to a Domain Controller in a new Domain, then ran DCPROMO again to remove Active Directory. Anyway, I now cannot run Disk Manager. When I click on Disk Management (Local), I get a popup message, saying, “Access to Disk Manager on MYSERVER is denied. You don’t have access rights to the service.” In the status bar I see: FAILED connection to Logical Disk Manager Service. I am running this from the Administrator account. What could be the problem? I am at Build 2183. Also, the Disk Defragmenter is acting strangely. I don’t see any errors, but when I click on “Analyze” or “Defrag”, nothing happens even though the dfrgntfs.exe process appears in Task Manager.
