Error:Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable

I'm getting the below message when i try and access SQL Config Manager on my Windows Server 2003 R2
"Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 and later servers with SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Generic failure [0x80041001]"
Also tries with the below solution but still the error persists
The solution is to go to a command prompt as administrator and then run mofcomp.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared>mofcomp "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"
Below was the output of the command:

Can anyone tell how this problem can be solved?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared>mofcomp "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"
And error i got is

Error when opening indd-file: Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the...

Hi! I'm having trouble opening a indd-file. It was sent to me as a zip-fil along with the used fonts and links. When I try to open the file, I'm getting this error: "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application". I've tried to look up this error both here in these forums and through google, but can't find a similar case. Hope someone can help me with this. Please let me know if you need more information/details, and I'll provide. Thanks!

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I'm suspecting it to come from a mac user, if that could influence the case...
It does come from a Mac, as is proven by the fonts, which are of no use on my Windows machine, but that doesn't prevent my CS4 to open it without any problem. It seems to me it's a perfectly regular CS2 file.
Just for cheers I set the file to Read-only, but my InDesign opens it regardless (again as a copy, because it's a "converted" file).
Could it be something in your environment? No network read/write privileges, insufficient free hard disk space, stuff like that?

Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use

Had this file open this morning all the sudden Im getting this error.
Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use

I think its version 6
Thanks

Was it properly closed? There may still be a lock file (.idlk) in the folder where it is saved.

Hi sql393,
Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 servers with SQL Server Configuration Manager. Invalid class [0x80041010].

"iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone. You do not have permission."

Why am I getting a "iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone. You do not have permission." error after I just activated my new iPhone 4? Anything will help. Thanks.

Did you resolve this yet? It took me 3 hours on the phone with support over 2 sessions, but they found the solution.
From the Finder menu:
Go/Go to Folder...
Enter: var/db/lockdown
Select everything in folder and delete
Restart computer
Launch iTunes and plug in phone. It should work (that's what did it for us).
Good luck.

User Executes Stored Procedure That Executes sp_send_dbmail; receives email but also gets error Cannot alter the queue 'ExternalMailQueue', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.

Using SQL Server 2012 SP1
I have a user that is submitting a procedure that uses sp_send_dbmail. I have also noticed that they have the following code in their procedure
DECLARE @rc INT
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM msdb.sys.service_queues
WHERE name = N'ExternalMailQueue' AND is_receive_enabled = 1)
EXEC @rc = msdb.dbo.sysmail_start_sp
The user submits the procedure and she gets the email but she also gets the following error message:
Msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sysmail_start_sp, Line 8
Cannot alter the queue 'ExternalMailQueue', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
Mail (Id: 2402) queued.
(1 row(s) affected)
I have granted execute to sp_send_dbmail and sysmail_start_sp. I have also granted select to service_queues.
Does anyone have any solutions for the above error message?
lcerni

The contents of sysmail_start_sp is this:
CREATE PROCEDURE sysmail_start_sp
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @rc INT
   DECLARE @localmessage nvarchar(255)
ALTER QUEUE ExternalMailQueue WITH STATUS = ON
SELECT @rc = @@ERROR
IF(@rc = 0)
BEGIN
ALTER QUEUE ExternalMailQueue WITH ACTIVATION (STATUS = ON);
   SET @localmessage = FORMATMESSAGE(14639, SUSER_SNAME())
   exec msdb.dbo.sysmail_logmailevent_sp @event_type=1, @description=@localmessage
END
RETURN @rc
The user get the error, because she does not have any permission on the queue in question. To be able to alter the queue, the following applies according to Books Online:
Permission for altering a queue defaults to the owner of the queue, members of the db_ddladmin or db_owner fixed database roles, and members of the sysadmin fixed server role.
Note that is would be db_ddladmin or db_owner in msdb. Now, supposedly the queue is already active, and in that case I think that it is sufficient that the user has VIEW DEFINITION on the view. This would permit her to see the row in sys.service_queues,
why there would be no need to call sysmail_start_sp.
Altertanively, change the check to:
DECLARE @isenabled bit
SELECT @isenabled = (SELECT is_receive_enabled FROM msdb.sys.service_queues
               WHERE name = N'ExternalMailQueue')
IF @isenabled = 0
   EXEC @rc = msdb.dbo.sysmail_start_sp
The idea here is that, if the user has no permission to read the information in the DMV, @isenabled will be NULL, and you just pray and hope that the queue is up and running.
I suspect that the reason this worked for you on SQL 2005 is that on that instance someone at some point in made all the required configurations for it to work, but all that is forgotten now. That happens to me too.
If you really want the user to be able to start the queue, I have some better ideas than adding her to a role, but I skip the details for now.

Provider hosted App Error: You do not have permission...

Hi everyone,
i'm using SharePoint online. I opened a provider hosted app and when I run this I get this error:
"Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource."
when I did debug I notice that it fall in this line:
webRequestEventArgs.WebRequestExecutor.RequestHeaders["Authorization"]
and "webRequestEventArgs.WebRequestExecutor.RequestHeaders"
is empty.
what can I do?
thank you!

i'm trying to add an item ti my list:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
//constant string SharePoint principal
string SharePointPrincipal = "00000003-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000";
var contextToken = TokenHelper.GetContextTokenFromRequest(Page.Request);
Uri hostWeb = new Uri(Page.Request["SPHostUrl"]);
string realm = TokenHelper.GetRealmFromTargetUrl(hostWeb);
string appOnlyAccessToken = TokenHelper.GetAppOnlyAccessToken(SharePointPrincipal, hostWeb.Authority, realm).AccessToken;
using (ClientContext clientContext = TokenHelper.GetClientContextWithAccessToken(hostWeb.ToString(), appOnlyAccessToken))
if (clientContext != null)
//ShariqTest is a custom List in my SharePoint site
var myList = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("ListName");
ListItemCreationInformation listItemCreate = new ListItemCreationInformation();
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItem newItem = myList.AddItem(listItemCreate);
newItem["ColumnName"] = "Testing ";
newItem.Update();
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
"[and the webRequestEventArgs.WebRequestExecutor.RequestHeaders["Authorization

what do you think my problem is?

Suddenly cannot connect to server "you do not have permission to access the server"

I am one of only two Macs in our office.
Up until now I have been able to connect to our shared folders/server just fine. Occasionally and randomly I would seem to get booted off, but would just log back in.
Now suddenly I get "Connection Failed You do not have permission to access this server".
I seem to get it whether its cifs, afp or smb.
After it denies the connection it also boots me from email. As soon as I cancel the attempt to connect the email recognizes my password again.
I have tried rebooting, repairing permissions and having our network admin change my password and nothing seems to work.
If I enter an incorrect pw it recognizes it as such. I only get the above message when I use the correct username and PW.
Additionally if I go to the other mac in our office I am able to connect using the same credentials without any problem.
This is via ethernet.

i also got the same problem on my ipad i have tried every thing i dont knw hw to fix this problme any solution. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????

My problems started with an error 50 message when trying to download bought films. After un-installing and downloading iTunes, a number of times, I still cannot open iTunes on my PC and keep getting the message "you do not have permission to open"

I have removed all spyware, anti virus software and removed all iTunes programs - as suggested by Apple. I still cannot open iTunes on my PC because of the message "you do not have permission to open this file, folder"
I have changed and checked all permissions to allow this but still get the same message.
iTunes is located on my C drive and I now do not have the neccesary permissions to open it.

Hey Chris-
It has been some time since you posted this message and I see you haven't gotten any replies, but I have the same issue and I was wondering if you figured out how to resolve it. Hopefully you were able to figure it out.

Cannot play shared videos - get "you don't have permission to access the requested resource" error

When I try to access my shared videos from my iphone 5 (OS 7.01), I get the "You do not have permission to access the requested resource". The videos I'm trying to play are mine....ripped, not ones purchased from apple.

I had this problem too.
I am running iTunes on an old PowerPC MacMini using iTunes 10.6.3. I was trying to stream video on my iPad mini and kept getting the error: "You do not have permission to access the requested resource".
So, I turned on iTunes on my laptop which is using Mavericks and the latest version of iTunes. It worked fine off it. It's just sometimes I like to keep my laptop in its bag and run things off my iPad through my MacMini.
So, I did follow the reset network settings on my iPad. It fixed it temporarily. In the middle of an episode of BBT the error message came up again.
I tried starting iTunes again. I reboot the machine. Still got the error.
So, I ran Onyx on the MacMini. There were a lot of permission errors on the hard drive. Once I fixed those, it seems I now have permission to access that resource.
If you have a disk utility, try running it on your source computer to fix any disk permissions or errors that may be causing the error.
In my case, it was the disk permissions needed repair.

Error Installing SQL Server Express 2008: '' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.

I have tried installing SQL Server 2008 multiple times on my machine, and I always receive this error about 3/4 of the way through: '' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.
I have tried installing both SQL Server Express 2008 with Tools and SQL Server Express 2008 with Advanced Services, and they both fail the same way. I am trying to do a new stand-alone installation.
I'm running Windows XP Home Edition SP3.
Looking into the error, some forums say I have to install it from THE Administrator account, and not an account with administrator permissions; it also cannot be in Safe Mode, because then the Windows Installer won't work. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to login to the Administrator account. I can go to the home login screen, do ctrl+alt+del twice, and attempt to login to the Administrator account, but I receive this error: Unable to Log You on because of an Account Restriction.
Other forums say that in the Server Configuration section, all you have to do is provide the username and a strong password from an administrative account on the computer, and it doesn't have to be THE Administrator. Well, I did that, but for some reason it doesn't recognize my username and password, it says something like "The credentials you provided for the SQL Server Agent are invalid". BUT THOSE ARE THE CORRECT CREDENTIALS FOR MY ADMINISTRATIVE USER! So I'm forced to use one of the accounts without a password, like NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. That's the only way I can get past this step.
Also, just FYI, on the next step, which is Database Engine Configuration, I am using Mixed Mode for the Security Mode. I AGAIN provide a password, and then add my current user (who IS an administrator on my machine!) to the SQL Server Administrators box.
But yet, it fails every single time.
This is pathetic and ridiculous. I must have tried to install this thing 15 times, that is not an exaggeration. I'm posting this on several other forums as well, maybe an MVP or Bill Gates himself can help me.
I have one of the log files from a failed installation. If someone would like to see it, I will post it.

PS : if you are talking about the Sql Server Agent Service, it is disabled for Sql Server Express. It is enabled only for the Workgroup/Standard/Dev and Entreprise Editions
Sorry, but I've tried the suggestion in that link, and it hasn't helped me.
For anyone wonder, the link is talking about the problem in Server Configuration where I enter my Windows user account and password (which is in the Administrative group), but it says the credentials are invalid. The link suggests that you need to either enter your Windows account (which I did, and it wouldn't let me go to the next step), or to use one of the built in accounts (which I also tried, but it gave me the " '' is not a valid login" error during the installation).
Any other ideas?
I haven't had any answers from any other forums either, so I'll just post my log file in case anyone wants to look at this:

Active Directory domain Services – "You do not have permission to modify the group" followed by (Chinese or Japanese characters). Error message

Folks:
I am having an issue with a system, which is throwing a really odd error message. When the user tries to modify the AD group, they receive the following error message:
“You do not have permission to modify the group”, which is then followed by what appears to be Chinese or Japanese characters. In addition, the characters
randomly change, which makes me believe the characters are ASCII values or equivalent, not specific values for any coherent words provided by installed language packages.
Has anyone seen this issue before? If so can you offer any advice?
Thank you.

Hi,
This issue can be caused due to the permissions under Security tab are modified incorrectly.
Please use delete control wizard to reassign the permissions or correct the permissions under Security tab manually.

"you do not have permission to do this operation + SP Designer 2010 Error

I am unable to access to my sharepoint site via SharePoint designer. The error is: You do not have permission to do this operation. Ask your web site administrator to change your permissions and then try again, or log on with a user account that has this
permission...
I am the site owner with full control. I get the error when I click Site Actions - Edit in SharePoint Designer. I also get the error when I open SharePoint Designer directly and click on the link that was created under Recent Sites.
In my Central Admin, the SharePoint Designer Settings is all enabled. i am to beloning to farm administrator and i am teh site collection admin. and in the machine admin group.
First I created a claims based authen. with custom mem.ship /role providers and it was working fine. and i added users into the users policy user1,user2, user3 etc. and later i removed these mem.ship /role providers and removed the
"Enable fba authentication " check box.
now i am unable to login into the sp designer 2010 and unable to edit master page.
Also whenever i am trying tio change anything in the _layouts/settings.aspx, like uploading an image or adding a page etc i a egtting teh "error :access denied sign in as different user."
i am not able to find out what caused this issue till now. Did mycustom membership/role provider is causign the pblm?
or Is there any place else that I should check?

Seems like an extreme thing to do but these steps worked for me:
Obviously backing up the site collection first using Central Admin's backup site collection feature
Took notes of how the current web application was configured in central admin's Web Application Management |General Setting drp down for things like general & workflow settings, external email, etc
(optional step) I took a copy of some bespoke settings I had in the web.config file of the web application
Deleted the web application from Central Admin (when deleting the web app I only deleted the IIS web site not the content db in a "just in case" operation but I don't think it matters, just remember to tidy up SQL and include any new content db in your
SQL maintainance plan)
Checked IIS that they had been removed
Re-created the Web Application (and created a new content db in my case)
Restored the site collection backup usign Restore-SPSite command with a -Force parameter
Put all the web application settings back in
Shut down IIS for a moment to add my custom web.config settings back into the new file
Rebooted the server
As I say a bit extreme but it worked...

Root cause of error " Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource" - workflow - SharePoint 2013

Good evening, technet community
I hope you are doing well.
When configuring my SharePoint workflow, I encounter the problem below:
Problem Description:
Let's say my domain is: test.com, my group user is: test\group , my user is: test\user1
Except an admin account with full control at both "Web Application" and "Site Collection", all others account all have problem when creating a list item. After creating a list item, the workflow status is "cancelled" immediately
with the following message:
RequestorId: 262a35e4-99f4-40f0-929b-5d04b415f147. Details: System.ApplicationException: HTTP 401 {"Transfer-Encoding":["chunked"],"X-SharePointHealthScore":["0"],"SPClientServiceRequestDuration":["10"],"SPRequestGuid":["262a35e4-99f4-40f0-929b-5d04b415f147"],"request-id":["262a35e4-99f4-40f0-929b-5d04b415f147"],"X-FRAME-OPTIONS":["SAMEORIGIN"],"MicrosoftSharePointTeamServices":["15.0.0.4420"],"X-Content-Type-Options":["nosniff"],"X-MS-InvokeApp":["1;

{"error":{"code":"-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Access denied. You do not have permission to perform
this action or access this resource."}}} at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context) at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor,
BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
- The workflow is still fail even I assign "full control" to my users group "test\group" – at Site Collection level.
Surprisingly, I have successfully found a solution for this error message. However, I still have some points that I do not clearly understand. Let's start with my solution first.
Solution:
*** i. Assign permission policy at Web Application level – Central Admin site ***
1. Central Administration ==> Application management
==> Manage Web application
2. Go to "permission policy", then create a new permission level. This permission level contains all "edit item" permission.
3. Select "user policy", then I assign it directly to my user account: test\user1.
*** ii. Assign "edit item" permission at Site Collection level ***
1. Site Setting ==> Site permission
2. Assign "Edit" permission to my test\group.
(Actually I removed all permissions of my user group at Site Collection level. It seem my group has inherited permission from Web Application level, is that correct? )
*** iii. Create a new list item and workflow runs ……. ***
==> My question is:
1. Why I cannot assign permission to my users group - "test\group" -
at "Web Application" level? Instead I have to assign permission policy for each users, one by one?
2. Could you please let me know how to collect full detail error message of workflow status?
Thank you very much! Have a nice weekend.

Thank you for your very detail response.
Point 1: Yes my 2 service: user profile & profile sync service are running. I performed "full synchronization" as well. Actually i've tried 3 another action plans before coming up with the solution i posted:
*** Actions completed ***
1. Activate the feature: workflow can use app permissions.
Site actions > Site Settings > Site features >activate the feature below:
Workflows can use app permissions
2.
Refresh trusted security token services metadata feed
Get-SPTimerJob
"RefreshMetadataFeed"
| Start-SPTimerJob
- then restart the machine.
3. Start full user profile synchronization.
Point 2:
- Yes my user had Edit permission at workflow task list + list affected by workflow.
I have just remove all permissions of my user at "Site Collection" level. However, when i show my user permissions at my workflow task list and my users still have "Edit" Permission ( assigned at Web Application level. These permissions
still exist even after my workflow task list stop inheriting permission).
==> the problems probably belongs to "permission" at "Site Collection level". It seems "permission level at my Site Collection does not work". All users accounts are also suffer from the same issues except farm admin account
( which has full control at Web Application level).
I would appreciate if your guys can guide me how to make "permission" at my "Site Collection level" work again?
Thank you very much.
