I have ISA Server installed. I have installed the admin tool on my PC, same domain, same subnet. Whenever I try to connect to the ISA server I get :

DCOM got error "General access denied error " from the computer proxy1 when attempting to activate the server:
{E205C653-0426-11D2-9A4D-0060081E9D26}

My account belongs to Domain Admins. Couldn't find much in KB about this error. Anyone have similar problems???

You probably already saw this, but I thought it was still worthwile to bring up. What is the OS on your admin PC? TechNet article Q229796 says that if it is NT, you could have problems running MMC snap-ins unless WBEM is installed.
Maybe?

The only other thing I can think of is a group policy preventing even Domain Admins from running the ISA snap-in.

Not sure if this was helpful, but something.

This behavior can occur when the LocalSystem account does not have full access to the root drive.

The LocalSystem account must have full access to the Windows root directory. It is not necessary for it to have full control of the entire directory tree.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service is another service that requires the LocalSystem account to have full access to the root directory where the system is stored.
