  • Access Denied when trying to add DP to Windows Server 2003

    Hello. My environment is SCCM 2012 SP1. I have a Windows Server 2003 SP2 machine that I need to set a distribution point up on. I have all the prep work complete like IIS installed, local administrator, etc. I have also already setup 300 DPs successfully

  • Photoshop cs4 access denied when trying to install from disc in Windows 7 64bit.

    Photoshop cs4 access denied when trying to install from disc in Windows 7 64bit. I tried it in
    safe mode and it starts to install but get an error there as well.
    What do I do?

    So when you put the disk in it won't run correctly? When the disk is inserted you should have a window pop up with 2 options. 1 to install and the other to see what is on the disk. Choose to explore or open the disk. Go to the CS4 folder where the photoshop .exe file is (that will run the setup), right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin and it should start. See if it will install. If not then read below.
    I am not sure how far you got in the install before so chances are you will have to run the CS4 cleanup utility. 2 levels to run at but don't use 1 or 2 just type in the number 3.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
    You may need to run the windows installer cleanup utility too
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Before you try to reinstall the software ensure that adobe reader is not installed. If it is remove it. It has caused issues in the past with vista and CS4 installs.
    Also turn off windows Defender and any anti-virus software. You can keep UAC on in Windows 7.
    During the CS4 install at 90 percent it will almost stop and may take 5 to 10 mins to finish. This is normal. What a pain huh......
    After install is finished, reboot
    After reboot, go to the CS4 64 bit or 32 bit icon (depends on 32 or 64 bit Windows 7) in start area, right click on CS4 64 bit (if you have windows 7 64 bit) and choose properties, compatibility tab and then check run as Admin at the bottom area. Hit apply, ok to close out.
    Now start CS4 and run the updater.

    If you are able to open the same document earlier,then  anonymous access enabled on your doc library then.
    If you are facing this problem in first time,then you do not have required permission (may be custom permission level has been set ) on it.

    As far as I understand in the second case Oracle tries to create a table to store XML content and fails to do it.

  • I receive "Database access denied" when trying to add component 4543BD

    I receive "Database access denied" when trying to add component 4543BD to my schematic. This component was added from a previous version. I'm using Multisim version 12.0.0  Student edition.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Diarra,
    I checked my database and  the  4543 is not in the Student Edition. If you opened a schematic that was created in a higher version such as the Educaiton Edition and copied the part to your database, when you place this part you will get the access denied message. 
    Attached is a schematic with the part, you can open it and build you circuit around it.

  • Get-VHD failing with access denied when querying remote VHDs on SMB 3.0 shares

    I'm out of ideas on this one. I'm attempting to do a Get-VHD to retrieve VHD info for some Guests that are using SMB 3.0 shares to remotely store their VHDs and I cannot remotely run the powershell command at all without getting  Error: 'General Access
    denied error' (0x80070005)'. Command running locally on the machine hosting the guest works fine.
    Here is the Hyper-V Setup - Host is Server 2012 datacenter, guests are 2012 or 2008 R2 boxes. Storage server is Server 2012, domain is 2008 R2 functionality level if it matters, powershell version 3.0
    Host1 --> Guest(1) --> {LAN}--> StorageServer --> Share --> VHD
    Make sense? pretty easy, normal setup. The Host has full access NTFS rights on the share and all files, including the VHDs. As does my AD account. All on the same domain. If I RDP into Host1 I can retrieve everything just fine. However, the following methods
    will not work to retrieve VHD info of any Guest running on their VHDs off the share (get-vhd works if Guests have their VHDs on locally attached storage).
    1.) Enter-PsSession Host1 and then attempt get-vhd
    2.) Invoke-Command
    3.) import module/hyper-v management tools on client then running get-vhd
    4.) Executing GetVirtualHardDiskInfo method in WMI (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc136797%28VS.85%29.aspx) to retrieve the job which results in same error message.
    5.) Even attempting test-path $pathToVHD on the host will result in Access Denied error.
    If I check the storage server hosting the VHDs I see some normal access requests come across on my Domain account followed a few seconds later by a null sid/anonymous requests which of course are denied. I have no idea why on earth they are coming across
    as null SIDs/anonymous requests but this seems to be the root of the issue. Is it trying to regenerate my credentials or something to access the VHD and failing? If so, is there a way to fix it?

    Yeah I thought about that too and that isn't the problem in this particular case (also PSSession takes care of the RSAT/HyperV problem). If it was Scenario #1 wouldn't work and scenario #4 would.
    Again, this works fine:
    Scenario #1 (works)
    1.) Remote computer running PS 3.0 (win 7 desktop in this case) enter-pssession Host1
    2.)  Get-VHD $VHDOnLocalDirectAttachedStorage (Host1 is running guest)
    Scenario #2 (works)
    1.) RDP to Host1
    2.) Get-VHD $VHDOnSMBShare (host1 is running guest)
    Scenario #3 (breaks)
    1.) On remote computer enter-pssession Host1
    2.) Get-VHD $VHDOnSMBShare (host1 is running guest)
    Scenario #4 (breaks):
    1.) RDP to Host2 server 2012 running Hyper-v with RSAT installed
    2.) Get-VHD $VHDOnSMBShare -ComputerName RemoteHost
    Scenario #5 (works):
    1.) Enter-Psession Host2
    2.) Get-VHD $VHDOnHost1LocalStorage -ComputerName Host1

  • Access denied when upgrade SharePoint app in on premise deployment while it succeeds in fresh deployment

    We deployed a SharePoint hosted app then used it for a while then we needed to upgrade it to be provider hosted app.
    we used the same AppID and name with the new package then uploaded the package to the app catalog.
    the old app in the site contents now has a note that there is a newer version and prompts to upgrade.
    the upgrade fails with access denied even for site collection administrator.
    is there really some permission issue or the upgrade can't be done?
    We are volunteers, if the reply help you mark it as your answer. thanks!!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you got access denied error when upgrade the SharePoint hosted app to provider hosted app.
    How did you upgrade a SharePoint hosted app to a provider hosted app?
    They are two different type apps, why not just create a new provider hosted app?
    To create a provider hosted app, we should create a certificate that is used as “security token issuer”.
    There are two articles about creating provider hosted  high trust app, you can have a look at them.

  • How to open pdf documents when marked 'error, access denied' (these are not damaged or non-compliant)?

    I have tried to open them as attachment to an email, and also as a file in my Adobe Reader XI file...same message "There was an error opening this document. Access denied."  This began very suddenly--like something was 'turned off' in the system.
    Funtbird1963

    The message means that a file which is needed to run Adobe Reader has been locked by the system. So it isn't exactly that Adobe Reader is turned off, but the effect is the same.
    Something to try. Can you start Adobe Reader from the START menu in the normal way? If you can, are you able to use Open from the File menu to open a PDF?

  • Access denied when adding people to SharePoint group

    Hi all,
         I've been having problems with my SharePoint 2010 deployment that wasn't deployed by me. Sound familiar? Anyways, here is my problem: I try to add people to a SharePoint group and I'm getting:
    Access Denied.

    I've been having problems with pulling AD members in one of my site collections for awhile now. Been troubleshooting with what information I can find online. One step I took was to blank out the LDAP search string for each site collection so that it's not
    limited to certain OUs. 
    Also I am getting security log entries that my farm account is trying to authenticate as a privileged [administrative permissioned] account for an employee that is no longer with us. Coincidentally enough he's the one that deployed this SharePoint solution
    originally.
    I need help in tracking down why I cannot add users to groups in this one site collection; but my root site collection I can add people no problem.

    Object Cache: The super user account utilized by the cache is not configured. This can increase the number of cache misses, which causes the page requests to consume unneccesary system resources.
    To configure the account use the following command 'stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname portalsuperuseraccount -propertyvalue account -url webappurl'. The account should be any account that has Full Control access to the SharePoint databases but is not an application pool account.

    Hello,

    Are you trying to add user by custom solution? If so then it seems your code is using the impersonate method to run code with admin privileged (i.e. RunWithElevatedPrivileges or User token).
    If this is the case then you have to first add new account as site collection in site then change that web application pool identity on IIS. Go to IIS-->select your web app pool-->then  go to properties and  verify which account is been used
    there. If it is old then replace with your account.
    Let us know your result

    4. On the network share and properties of file, advanced, details and added the user
    5. from the workstation tried to access the file, Access Denied.  I can create any file I won't just can't add attributes to encrypt the file or open an encrypted file
    Now if I go to the server where the CA is located which is also the AD server and create share and run the same process it works as expected.  I'm guessing I have to export the cert from the CA server as a pfx and import that to both the server that
    has the network share and the workstation but that still doesn't seem to work.  Maybe I don't understand how EFS works and this is not possible?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    You are correct in not understanding how EFS works.
    When you connect to an encrypted file via a network share, the encryption/decryption takes place *on* the server. To enable over the network access, the server's computer account must be trusted for delegation.
    The server actually impersonates the user and creates a user profile on the server (containing the defined EFS certificate and private key). The important thing to remember is that the files is transmitted in clear text from the server to the client.

  • Access Denied When Trying To Install Printer - Windows 7

    Good Day
    I have a serious problem on a client's computer. All I need to do is connect the laptop to a network printer, but I am having a lot of difficulty in doing so.
    First the details of the laptop: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit connected to network using ETH cable. Avira Professional antivirus running, firewall disabled on pc, user is member of administrators group only.
    Details of the printer: Xerox Workcentre 3220, connect to network using ETH cable, but also shared on pc also running Windows 7 64-bit Professional.
    I am able to ping the printer and have connected all the other pcs on the network to the printer without any troubles whatsoever. Printing, scanning - everything is working fine for the other pcs. I am also able to connect to shares from the laptop to any
    other pc.
    So here is my issue with this specific laptop:
    Firstly, when using the "Add Printer" wizard, the "Add a local printer" option is greyed out.
    So I tried connecting to the printer using the"Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer" option, which seemed to be working, but during installation it gives an Access Denied error and undoes the installation.
    Then I tried connecting to the share of the printer on one of the other pcs, which had the exact same result.
    I then tried to modify an other printer, by firstly trying to add a new Local Port, but the I recieve the following error: "Specified port cannot be added. Access is denied."
    I tried then adding the driver using the Windows Print Server, but the buttons were unavailable.
    After reading on many forums, I accessed the Print Management console (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Print Management)m and tried adding the printer and ports there, but recieved an "Access Denied" error every time.
    Basically whatever I tried, I recieved "Access Denied" errors. I created a new user, which is only a member of the Administrators group. Logged in with new user, without any success in connecting to the printer. I then tried adding security permisssions
    for "everyone" to the folder C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS, as I read on another forum. I tried modifying the group policy using gpedit.msc and also using the Local Security Policy, although I could have missed some things in these two places,
    but basically with a quick glance, everything seemed fine. I am sure there are no virusses, etc on this laptop and as I have said all the other pcs connected to the printer very easily.
    How can it be that I cant install a printer on this laptop, while I was able to do so a year or so back?
    I have gotten a few suggestions that it will in the end just save me time by formatting the pc and reloading all the data and programs, but this isn't an option I really want to take. And then I have previously had issues with the "Add a local printer"
    option greyed out and unable to add printers, etc, but then I was able to solve the problem by creating a new user and then switching to that user - which indicated a possible user profile corruption. But in this case even that did not work.

    Hi,
    please check your below configuration:
    1.Start the policy editor (Control Panel -> Administrative tools -> Local security policy)
    2.Select “Local policy” item
    3.Find the item “Devices: Prevent Users from Installing Printer Drivers” in the section Security Settings -> Security Options and change it to Enabled
    4.Go to “Security Settings -> User Rights Assignment” section and check, that “Load & Unalod Drivers” option contains the active user group. It important, that even if it has “All Staff” already, it still could miss “Administrators” group, so it’s necessary
    to add it manually.
