Cannot Install Services due to security policy

[FireBlade954]

Hi,

There appears to be something in my security settings that is stopping me from installing any program that requires a service to be installed on any machine across the domain. I have been through the Group Policy, Domain Policy but can't find anything relating to service installation. Each time a service is attempted to be installed, I get an error message saying I need administrative rights even though I log on with either local or domain admin accounts.

Thanks in advance

Did you have a group policy enforced that did not allow services being installed, then removed it?
If so look in the registery on the client machines for something that might still enforce this.Had it happen to me with a redirection policy..

As far as I can see, there is nothing in the policy to prevent the installation of services. Also, when I search the registry for the word "service" I get about 40 million hits.

I found the solution to this, so I thought you guys might like to know. We had an orphan entry in our Domain Security Policy under Log On As A Service which was screwing things up. Once this was removed and a secedit done, it all came back to life.
