Windows 2k8R2 - Receiving Error when logging in ( MMC Cannot open the File: C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc)

Windows 2008 R2 - I just started receiving this when i log in, and also when i try to manage the machine:
MMC Cannot open the File:
C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc
This may be because the file does not exist , is not an MMC console , or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file.
This always worked before, and works for other users just not me on this particular box. This is a production box and i need a resolution quick please. Thanks in advance.

Has the system update readiness tool been run without error?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-is-the-System-Update-Readiness-Tool
Then check the %SYSTEMROOT%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log file for errors.
 You can also try creating a new MSC

  • SAP Management Console : Error MMC cannot open the file "C:\WINDOWS\sapmmc.

    Hi Experts,
    We are installing the xmii system on a server, it was not installed completely.
    Now we have deleted the xMII folders from Add and Remove in Control Panel.
    After deleting these folders, when we are opening SAP Management Console, it is giving one <b>Error MMC cannot open the file "C:\WINDOWS\sapmmc.msc."</b>
    Please help us to resolve this problem, we have no idea to resolve the same.

    Hi,
    Looks like your mmc dll is corrupted, with your install and uninstall of software.
    Two Options:
    1. Upgrade the Kernel with latest Patch level, which comes with new SAPMMC.dll file
    OR
    2. Just download the SAPMMC*.sar file from service market place and extract in exe directory, since it is windows re-booting the server doesn't hurt.
    Hope this helps. points are welcome.

  • 'MMC cannot open the file C:\Windows\SAPMMC.MSC'

    Hi
    When I try and run SAPMMC on the desk top I get the error :
    'MMC cannot open the file C:\Windows\SAPMMC.MSC'
    this is because the file does not exists, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of the MMC'
    I have full permissions on this server, has anyone seen this error before?
    The file C:\Windows\SAPMMC.MSC does exist, infact there is a .1, .2, .3 and .4 version in C:\Windows.
    Thanks for any help.

  • MMC cannot open the file msisa.msc

    Hi, I've been dealing with this problema for a few hours and been searching all over to find no solution to it.
    I have installed a TMG 2010 SP2 server on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Server.
    The installation goes OK, I'm installing first the EMS server. When I try to open the console I get the following Error:
    I have already checked the MMC versión on the OS is 3.0.
    I've already reinstalled quite a few times.
    I have disabled the antivirus and even uninstalled it from the server.
    When I try to open the TMG Console by first opening the mmc and adding the snap-in, I get the console tree but no content anywhere else.
    The installation files have already SP1 and SP2 with the latest update rollup.
    The computer is domain joined.
    The user account is a local admin.
    The server had the latest updates installed, so I tried uninstalling some of them, even the IE11 that was installed, but still got the same problem.
    I also have another server and getting the same problem.
    I have used those same installation files before and didn't get this issues.
    Any ideas on why this is happening?
    Thanks for your help!

  • The system cannot find the file specified.Windows sockets error code:2.

    Hi All,
      I am on MDM 5.5 SP6.
      I am getting the following error message when trying to logging in to the DM.
    The system cannot find the file specified.Windows sockets error code:2.This application will now exit.
    Runtime Error :
    Program C :\Program Files\SAP MDM 5.5\Data Manager\Datamanager.exe
    R6025.
    -Pure virtual function call.
    And in console also the MDM server is stopped after getting the above error message.
    Can anybody tell me what could be the problem?
    Thanks & Regards
    Sireesha.

    Hi Sireesha,
    According to me, there can be 3 problems,
    1. Kindly check whether the MDM server is stopped. If it is, then restart the MDM Server and Load the repository with Update indices.
    2. If this error is coming with every repository, the problem will be either in the Version mismatch of the Server and the GUI's you are using. Kindly ensure that the versions for the MDM server and the MDM Gui's Match.
    3. If only Data manager Client is giving the problem, then you can un-install and install the DM GUI again.
    Along with this, please refer to the link below :
    [[The system cannot find the file specified.Windows sockets error code:2.;]
    Hope it helps.

    Hi Emily,
    It seems to be windows profile related issue could you please try to delete the user preferences under the registries for which you are getting the issue for the particular users.
    Note: The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files before you edit the registry.For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys and Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
    1. Go to start programs->run->RegEdit.
    2. Then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER< Software< BusinessObjects<Suite 11.5<Business Objects.
    3. Select the user preferences and delete the same.

    Hi Emily,
    Following solution might help you to resolve the issue.
    1.You create your Deski report.
    2.Save as the report (with or without 'Save for all users'- makes little difference at his stage).
    3.Export the document to the repository.
    4.Save as the report once again with the option 'Save for all users'(overwrite the copy that already exists on the local machine).
    5.Log into Info view and delete the report.
    6.Log back into Desktop Intelligence and try to open the report.

  • I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file

    I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

    Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
    You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X  or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.
