Lost admin rights
Hi, I’m having a small domain, running on 3 Win 2003 servers, after
crash, I restored servers from the Ghost image, created new domain,
everything was looking OK, before I tried to install software on one of
the XP systems: message was you do not have administrating rights. I log out, log back as local admin, the same message. I checked User rights account under I logged, has full rights. I took ownership for drive C:\ still the same. I tried take ownership over registry and got message: cannot set permission for all keys. When I looked in Effective permission tab it sad: Windows cannot calculate the effective permission for that user. All information I got from Microsoft I tried and it did not worked, I cannot install most of the software. I was able to install Microsoft Office 2003.All account on system has no admin right, not local not domain, even user manager and all security tabs show full rights. I log in Safe Mode, the same result, disjointed Domain, no help; Admin account still has no rights install some graphic programs like Xara3D and Paint Shop Pro. Reinstalling the system it would be big hassle it has a lot of software, and specific configuration.
Please advice.
